About Daniel

Daniel Christy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 24 years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship concerns, substance use, and the strain of work-life balance.

He keeps a relaxed, straightforward style in sessions. Clients talk about what matters most to them. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses.

In practice he guides short, practical steps. That may look like spotting automatic thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and building simple habits that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises are used to increase awareness of bodily signals and breathing when frustration rises.

His work also addresses grief, parenting strain, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and long-term stress. He incorporates motivational interviewing when people are weighing change and need help clarifying goals and commitment.

Sessions aim to be outcome-focused without pressure to rush. People are encouraged to set concrete goals and track progress between meetings. He invites an honest conversation about what is working and what needs adjusting.

For someone fed up with snapping at loved ones or feeling stuck in resentment, his approach is practical and steady. He asks questions, suggests exercises, and checks in on results so adjustments can be made over time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Daniel often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change behavior and reduce reactive responses. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice rising tension and pause before reacting.

He also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify why change matters and to strengthen commitment. That approach is conversational and nonjudgmental, useful when someone is weighing whether to cut back on substances, alter habitual responses, or try new coping strategies. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - he will work with each person to determine what fits their goals and preferences.

Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it helpful to practice mindfulness or CBT exercises between meetings and then bring observations back to session for adjustment and planning.
