Daniel Christy

Daniel Christy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He works with concerns around relationships, family matters, grief, parenting, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Daniel writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person.

His style is relaxed and direct. He invites people to talk about their main concerns and then works alongside them to find practical steps forward. Daniel often uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.

Over 24 years in the field have shaped his approach to coaching and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, aging and geriatric concerns, drug and alcohol addiction, cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and first responder stress. Daniel adapts the pace and tools to each person’s needs rather than following a rigid plan.

Sessions emphasize clear, usable skills and short-term goals when that suits the person. He blends motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to build motivation and test small changes in daily life. This practical mix aims to make therapy feel relevant and manageable for busy lives.

Daniel practices in Missouri and offers services in English. He recognizes that starting therapy is a big step and aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead, helping them feel heard while they describe what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions feel intense.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and day-to-day needs, then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what helps most.

Please confirm the available online session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit into busy schedules, allow a shorter check-in during a workday, or reduce travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to practice skills in real life between meetings and to follow up consistently as goals evolve.
