About Daniel
Dr. Daniel Ringhoff is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and stress. He also supports those struggling with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career setbacks, and sleep problems.
His tone is direct and warm, aimed at making a first step feel manageable for busy parents and adults. He brings 17 years of practice as an LCSW. He listens without judgment and asks clear questions to help people name what matters most.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that fit into daily life. He encourages mindfulness, building skills, and trying new perspectives. Daniel blends several ways of working to meet practical goals.
He uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people connect with values, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and routines. Attachment-based thinking helps when relationship patterns and early wounds affect current life. People can expect an active, collaborative approach.
He offers straightforward tools for coping with emotion, improving communication, and managing cravings or impulses. He also supports people dealing with complex trauma, dissociation, and co-occurring mood concerns. His background includes long experience with people affected by abuse, legal involvement, and caregiving stress.
He tailors sessions to the situation and checks in about what’s working. The aim is steady, useful progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them. It helps when people feel stuck or unsure what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and communication, and it can help with intimacy-related issues and long-standing conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping sessions collaborative and goal-directed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for teaching skills and reviewing progress. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or during a short break. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking.
