About Daniel
Daniel Sigel is an LCSW with a decade of clinical experience who practices in Maine and focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
He approaches care from a strength-based perspective, combining evidence-informed strategies like cognitive behavioral techniques with trauma-sensitive and humanistic ideas to help clients identify and change patterns that cause distress. Daniel emphasizes collaboration, viewing clients as experts in their own lives while offering guidance rooted in clinical training and practical experience.
His therapeutic manner is described as warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental, aimed at creating a space where people can explore fears, struggles, and aspirations. He tailors his work to each individual rather than applying one-size-fits-all methods, moving quickly to spot negative cycles and develop actionable steps to address them.
Daniel values compassion, respect, and empathy as foundations for change, and he encourages those taking the first step toward therapy by affirming the courage involved in beginning the process.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Daniel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is another core influence, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities to build insight and self-directed growth. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping clarify values and increase motivation for change when someone feels stuck or ambivalent.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Daniel works with each person to explore which techniques fit their goals and preferences, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve. That collaborative stance helps tailor interventions so they feel relevant and actionable rather than prescriptive.
Online therapy here is offered through several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or access care from different locations within Maine. These options provide flexibility in how people communicate and engage in therapeutic work while allowing licensed professionals to apply CBT, client-centered skills, and motivational interviewing in ways that match each client’s rhythm and goals.
