About Daniel
Daniel Gersten is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of clinical experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, bipolar symptoms, and trauma-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical ways to reduce reactivity and manage difficult emotions.
Daniel’s work centers on clear, actionable steps rather than abstract talk. He uses evidence-based techniques to address shame, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and substance use. In sessions he will help clients spot patterns of thought and behavior that feed anger and frustration, and practice alternatives that change how they respond in the moment.
People meet him for help with workplace frustration, growing resentment at home, ongoing substance issues, or trouble sleeping from racing thoughts. He outlines manageable tools for moments of high stress and for longer-term changes in mood and behavior. The aim is steady progress you can measure in everyday life.
His background includes two decades of direct clinical work with adults in New York. That experience informs a pragmatic style that mixes short-term strategies and longer-term problem solving. Sessions move between skill practice, talking through recent events, and planning steps to reduce triggers.

How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many clinicians use cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT-style work focuses on practical exercises, short experiments, and clear strategies to reduce anger and anxiety.Other therapists draw on trauma-focused methods that slow down intense memories, teach grounding exercises, and reduce reactivity after stressful events. These approaches aim to lower physiological arousal and rebuild a sense of control after difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences with the client and then suggest which techniques to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that interrupts the day. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care while juggling work and family obligations.
