About Daniel

Daniel Christy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 24 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and life transitions. He also addresses career concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

His style is relaxed and straightforward. He encourages people to say what matters most and then builds practical steps from there. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and test new responses.

Sessions focus on concrete skills and real situations. That can mean learning ways to calm down in the moment, rethinking unhelpful thoughts, or trying small behavioral changes between sessions. Motivational interviewing and elements of solution-focused work are used to keep goals clear and doable.

He aims to help clients reduce the grip of repeated reactions - the anger outbursts, the work frustration, or the mounting resentment. He also supports people facing loss, family conflict, or substance issues by offering steady, practical feedback rather than jargon.

Over two decades of practice have given him experience with a wide range of problems, including abandonment, body image concerns, first responder stress, and end-of-life issues. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. If someone is unsure where to start, he asks about the most pressing problem and builds from there.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs clear, nonjudgmental feedback and space to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people learn concrete skills to reduce anger, anxiety, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical coping skills for intense emotions, including ways to regulate mood and handle conflict. These methods are useful for stress, relationship tension, substance concerns, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then try methods that suit how you live and what you want to change. Expect decisions about techniques to be revisited as you try new skills and report back on what works.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats reduce the need for video or allow shorter focused visits, which can help people who need fewer barriers to getting started. Reach out through the platform to learn the current options and schedule a first meeting.
