About Daniel

Daniel Marshall is a California-licensed LCSW with 12 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional challenges. He focuses on building resilience and practical coping skills while addressing issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity.

Background and approach

His work emphasizes emotional healing, clearer communication, and greater self-understanding. Drawing on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, and client-centered principles, Daniel tailors sessions to each person’s circumstances and goals.

He brings particular attention to how identity, multicultural background, and systemic pressures shape mental health, and he supports clients in confronting shame, isolation, and painful relational patterns. Clients can expect a professional and affirming environment aimed at reducing distress and fostering meaningful change.

Daniel helps people explore life purpose, address attachment and abandonment issues, and develop strategies for social anxiety, anger, or financial and occupational stressors. He accepts international clients and offers flexible online formats to make ongoing work accessible.

Integrating Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Care



Daniel frequently draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relational experiences influence present-day patterns, which can be useful for addressing loneliness, communication problems, and attachment-related distress. Both approaches are presented in clear, actionable ways to support problem-solving and deeper emotional insight.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Daniel works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors a blend of strategies that fit the individual. This partnership helps ensure techniques are relevant and workable in day-to-day life rather than applied rigidly.

Online therapy with Daniel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and circumstances. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from different locations, which can be especially helpful for people balancing work, travel, or other commitments.
