About Daniel
Daniel MacCombie is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor who helps people through difficult life moments. He focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, work stress, and parenting challenges. Daniel aims to build a trusting working relationship and to help clients find practical steps forward.
He emphasizes clear communication and realistic goals. Sessions often look at family patterns, relationship habits, and how identity or culture affects daily life.
Background and approach
Daniel also supports people exploring non-traditional relationship styles and alternative sexual cultures, including kink and BDSM, and helps them navigate related relationship or identity questions. His approach is evidence-based and collaborative. Rather than relying on jargon, he uses straightforward strategies and shared decision making so clients can try new behaviors between sessions.
This can include communication practice, goal setting, and problem-solving for work or parenting stress. Daniel brings six years of clinical experience and works from a secular, progressive perspective. He pays attention to how life roles such as fatherhood or caregiving create strain, and he helps people manage isolation, forgiveness work, and questions of life purpose.
He also addresses challenges first responders and men may face. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish for New York clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details to match their needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Daniel uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach emphasizes communication skills and behavior change to help with conflict, parenting challenges, and workplace stress. This involves role practice, concrete communication exercises, and planning small changes between sessions.Another approach concentrates on identifying unhelpful patterns from family of origin and life transitions. It helps people understand repeated relationship habits, process emotions like grief or emptiness, and try new ways of responding in daily life.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. Together they check progress and adjust strategies as needs evolve.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist's profile does not list specific formats here, so ask about available session types when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are more convenient for parents and working people.
