About Daniel
Daniel Cardenas is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with seven years of professional experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, sleep problems, and self-esteem. He also helps people navigating career changes, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to ADHD.
Daniel keeps sessions straightforward. He listens to what’s happening now and helps people build practical ways to respond. That can mean learning to notice triggers, trying different ways to express frustration, or practicing short strategies to calm down before a situation escalates.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on what tools actually help day to day. Conversations often include skill practice, checking how new behaviors worked, and adjusting plans to fit a person’s life. The work is aimed at reducing repeated outbursts, lowering irritability at work, and easing resentment in close relationships.
His background includes seven years working with adults across a range of stress-related and mood concerns. He holds an LCPC in Maryland and an LPC in Texas. Sessions are conducted in English and tailored to the problems an individual brings to therapy.
To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process is practical: pick a time, describe what’s most urgent, and set modest goals to test in daily life.
How his methods translate to online sessions
Daniel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. One common approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - learning and practicing specific actions that change how someone responds to anger triggers and reduce reactive behavior. This helps with workplace frustration and quick temper responses.Another approach centers on emotion awareness and regulation. It teaches simple steps to recognize rising anger, track what fuels it, and try short calming techniques so a person can choose a different response. That method is useful for resentment in relationships and ongoing irritability.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to see which techniques fit their situation and goals. Sessions involve reviewing what was tried between meetings and making small adjustments together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone meetings so the focus stays on skill practice and real-world testing.
