Daniel Jansen, LCSW

Daniel Jansen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Oregon who uses practical, conversational therapy to help people facing common life challenges. He centers sessions on the person's experience and looks for strengths to build on. Daniel encourages small, manageable steps that add up to real change and recognizes that starting therapy takes courage.

He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when people need tools for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance.

Over eight years he has guided people through parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. He also addresses issues such as sleep troubles, ADHD, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. Many sessions focus on improving communication, repairing family-of-origin wounds, and exploring purpose or fatherhood concerns.

Daniel favors clear, goal-focused work and practical exercises between sessions. He helps people set small goals and practices to test what works in daily life. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful rather than technical or abstract.

People meet him for support with relationship strains, coping with change, or regaining energy and focus. He works with each person to find strategies that fit their life and values.

Using CBT and Skills Work Online

Daniel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thinking and behavior and then try small changes to see what helps. He also brings Client-Centered Therapy into sessions by listening closely and shaping the work around each person's goals and values. When intense emotions or self-harm urges come up, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be added to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options and tailor methods to match the person's needs, goals, and preferences so the plan feels collaborative and realistic. That means trying things out and adjusting as progress is seen.

Online therapy with Daniel is available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break in a workday, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders or short updates. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, and family life.
