About Daniel
Daniel 'Dan' Sullivan is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD concerns, low self-esteem, and career challenges. He uses a relaxed, down-to-earth style that aims to make conversations feel normal and straightforward. He welcomes honest talk about motivation, confidence, and the everyday struggles that get in the way of change.
Dan keeps sessions focused on what matters to the client right now. He listens without judgment and helps people name practical steps to try between sessions.
Background and approach
He leans on approaches that emphasize collaboration and clear, doable goals. With seven years of professional experience, Dan has worked with people dealing with depression, anger, compassion fatigue, and workplace pressures. He also helps with communication problems, impulsivity, midlife or young adult concerns, and other life transitions.
His background is grounded in real-world problem solving rather than technical jargon. Clients can expect a straightforward conversation about what they want to change and why. Dan works to build a plan with short-term steps and ways to measure progress.
He supports people who want coaching-style help alongside traditional therapy techniques. Sessions are offered by a Michigan-licensed LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - and are delivered in a friendly, approachable way. He aims to empower people to try new habits, test ideas, and adjust the plan as they learn what works for them.
How these approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what the client says so they feel understood; this approach helps people build their own answers to problems like low self-esteem or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior into small parts and tests new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, impulsivity, and mood concerns.Deciding which method to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try approaches, check what is working, and change course if needed so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when they want a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief coaching, quick skill practice, or staying connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum while trying new strategies.
