Daniel Jansen, LCSW

Daniel Jansen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oregon with eight years of professional experience. He works with adults on common everyday problems such as parenting concerns, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and stress. He also helps people who are coping with life changes, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, sleep disruption, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar mood concerns.

Daniel prefers a direct, respectful approach that treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. He draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems active.

He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. Solution-focused techniques help set clear, short-term goals and track progress in concrete ways. Daniel integrates these methods to match what each person needs in the moment.

In sessions he works through specific problems like communication breakdowns, fatherhood concerns, grief, and compassion fatigue. He supports people dealing with family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness questions, and young adult transitions. He can also address self-harm thoughts and self-love work with appropriate safety planning.

People who choose him can expect a practical, goal-oriented pace focused on improving daily functioning. He encourages small, doable steps and regular review of what is working. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
