About Daniel
Daniel 'Dan' Sullivan is a licensed master social worker in Michigan with seven years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career setbacks, depression, anger, and the strain that comes with life changes.
Dan keeps an informal, down-to-earth approach in sessions. He encourages honest talk about feelings and reactions so people can notice patterns that lead to outbursts or simmering resentment. He aims to reduce the heat around arguments and help clients find practical ways to respond differently when frustrated.
Sessions focus on clear steps and small experiments. Dan uses straightforward conversation to identify triggers, test new responses, and track what changes. He offers coaching-style support for motivation and career issues alongside therapy work for mood and anxiety.
People often come with workplace stress, impulsive reactions, or struggles with communication. Dan works on skills that make daily interactions more manageable, such as pacing responses, setting boundaries, and reframing unhelpful thoughts. He also helps clients recover energy when compassion fatigue or burnout is present.
Over time sessions move from immediate coping strategies to longer-term habits that lower reactivity. Dan explains options and helps each person pick a path that makes sense for their schedule and goals. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience by focusing on what matters most to them. Sessions prioritize listening, reflecting back concerns, and helping clients decide next steps. This approach is useful for people who need space to name how anger shows up and what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills such as noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative reactions. CBT is often used for anger tied to anxiety, workplace stress, or persistent negative self-talk.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims at practical change in a short time frame. It helps clients identify small, achievable goals and steps to move toward better control over reactions. That can be useful for someone wanting faster changes in communication or impulse control.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust based on how well they fit the client's needs.
Confirm available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find remote sessions help keep momentum while they apply new skills in everyday life.
