Daniel Christy, LPC

Daniel Christy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of clinical experience. He focuses on common, urgent concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and addictions. He also helps people facing parenting strain, grief, career crossroads, and the everyday pressure of life changes.

Daniel offers a straightforward, relaxed style in sessions. He encourages people to lead with what matters most and then helps them find practical steps to feel better. Conversations are grounded and direct, with attention to what a person can try between meetings.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and client-centered listening to shape each plan. That mix aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and build routines that reduce distress. Motivational interviewing and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy also appear when people want focused skill work or help sustaining change.

Across 24 years in practice he has supported people through relationship strain, family problems, addiction recovery, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and job-related stress. Daniel emphasizes clear goals and small, steady steps that fit a person’s daily life.

He practices in Missouri and works in English. He accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats to fit different schedules and needs. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to availability.

How therapy approaches meet the needs of online care

Daniel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, or anger. CBT breaks problems into smaller pieces and gives clear homework or practice tasks that are easy to use between sessions.

He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and understanding. That approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when someone needs tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or better interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. Sessions can shift focus as needs change, with practical steps agreed on together.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, coaching-style prompts, or ongoing encouragement between longer meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy routines.
