About Daniel
Dr. Daniel Ringhoff is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing a wide range of struggles, including depression, anxiety, addiction, and ADHD. He writes simply and listens carefully, aiming to make sessions feel practical and respectful.
He brings 17 years of experience and uses that background to guide clear next steps with each person. He prefers a warm, interactive, and non-judgmental style. Conversations focus on the client’s goals and everyday life.
Background and approach
He encourages new ways of seeing problems while honoring a person’s own knowledge of their life. His work draws on mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral tools, and approaches that pay attention to relationships and attachment patterns. Those methods are chosen to match the situation, not to follow a single formula.
Sessions tend to include skill-building, noticing patterns, and trying different coping strategies between meetings. Daniel has worked with people managing trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, career shifts, and stress from caregiving roles. He also offers support around relationship and intimacy issues, anger, and mood challenges.
Clients with co-occurring concerns often find a combination of practical coping and reflective work helpful. In the first meetings he focuses on what matters most to the client and sets clear, manageable goals. He helps people test small changes, track what works, and adjust plans as they go.
The tone is collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on usable tools and steady support.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often focuses on small, meaningful steps when life feels stuck and can help with mood, anxiety, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with ADHD-related challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to identify goals and pick methods that fit those goals and personal preferences. Sessions may blend elements from different approaches so the work is useful and flexible rather than rigid.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in-session, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and messaging allows brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
