Dr. Daniel Ringhoff, LCSW

Dr. Daniel Ringhoff greets people who are worn out, stuck, or overwhelmed and wants to help them find clearer footing. He is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience and approaches the work with straightforward care. He listens first and helps people set concrete goals they can try between sessions.

He works with many common struggles, including anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, and career stress. He also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.

In sessions he draws from several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and attachment-based work. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, practice new ways of responding, and clarify what matters most to them.

His style is warm and interactive. He treats people respectfully and assumes they know their life best while offering gentle challenges to open new perspectives. Sessions aim for practical steps rather than abstract talk alone.

Dr. Ringhoff is based in Florida and holds the credential LCSW, licensed clinical social worker. He can work by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging, and tailors the format to each person’s needs. If someone wants a clear plan and steady support, he helps them map the next steps and track progress.

Online therapy with practical approaches

Dr. Ringhoff commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. CBT focuses on small, doable experiments and skill building that people can practice between sessions.

He also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, which helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that align with those values even when difficult feelings are present. Attachment-based work is used when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current stress, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to decide whether CBT, ACT, attachment work, or a mix fits their goals and preferences. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is tracked.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy days. Video lets people work face to face; phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; live chat or texting can be useful for brief check-ins and ongoing coaching between visits. These options make it possible to continue steady work even with a packed schedule.
