About Daniel

Daniel 'Dan' Sullivan is a Michigan-licensed LMSW who works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. He brings seven years of professional experience and an easygoing, informal manner that aims to make therapy feel approachable and straightforward.

Background and approach

Dan emphasizes practical support and coaching for clients seeking clearer direction, motivation, and confidence in daily life and work. He creates a nonjudgmental setting where clients can explore thoughts and feelings openly, and he frames change as a courageous, forward-looking process.

Drawing on client-centered principles, cognitive-behavioral tools, and solution-focused strategies, he collaborates with clients to set achievable goals and find immediate, realistic steps toward improvement. Dan’s style prioritizes empowerment and skill-building so clients can manage challenges and pursue a more satisfying life on their own terms.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Practical Change

Client-centered work emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while shaping goals that matter to them; this approach supports people who want a respectful, accepting space to explore feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior with clear strategies and exercises that help reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and related challenges by teaching concrete coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and immediate steps, keeping sessions oriented toward achievable outcomes and small, measurable progress.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine what fits best. Together they assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjust methods over time so the plan stays practical and responsive to what’s working for the client.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity of care during busy periods, and use brief check-ins or longer conversations as needed to support steady progress.
