About Daniel

Daniel Navarro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on depression, grief, trauma, and addictions, and he also helps people work through issues like shame, guilt, and low self-esteem.

He works in straightforward, practical ways. Sessions often involve talking through recent difficulties, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. Daniel offers support around codependency, isolation and loneliness, and questions of life purpose and forgiveness.

He has experience assisting people who identify as men, women, and LGBTQ+, and those with military or first responder backgrounds, although he treats each person as an individual rather than a label. He also supports those exploring self-love and recovery from addictive behaviors.

Daniel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. He focuses on clear goals and concrete steps, such as coping strategies for intense emotions and ways to rebuild trust in oneself after loss or trauma. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with an eye on what will be useful between sessions.

If someone wants to begin, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.

BHow sessions work

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions

Daniel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure online work. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for intense emotions - practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood, or cravings. These techniques are useful for people dealing with depression, grief, or addiction.

Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and painful memories in manageable steps. This involves pacing conversations, grounding strategies, and rehearsing safer ways of responding to difficult triggers so daily functioning improves. It can help with trauma, shame, and guilt.

Choosing the right mix of techniques is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals, and comfort level rather than prescribing one fixed method. This planning includes discussing what to focus on each week and adjusting as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
