About Daniel

Daniel Silverstein is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and issues with self-esteem.

Background and approach

He centers his practice on creating a nonjudgmental atmosphere that encourages honest expression of thoughts and feelings, aiming to make each client feel heard and respected. Daniel brings nine years of clinical experience to his work and emphasizes a calm, relaxed presence that many clients find grounding.

His approach blends evidence-informed strategies with a client-centered stance, using tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor support to individual needs. He values collaboration and metes out practical techniques alongside space for exploration and reflection.

Helping others live with greater satisfaction and resilience is a core motivator in his practice, and he strives to meet each person where they are while supporting meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Daniel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit remote work. CBT involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms, often through practical exercises and homework that adapt well to video or phone sessions. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and building willingness to accept difficult internal experiences while pursuing meaningful action, which can be explored through discussion, experiential exercises, and mindfulness practices during online sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to determine which methods feel most useful based on personal goals, symptom patterns, and preferences, and he adjusts techniques as progress unfolds so the plan stays aligned with the client's needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when clients meet, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or life changes occur, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward practical improvements.
