About Daniel

Dr. Daniel Ringhoff is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with 17 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who face problems such as anger, addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and sleep difficulties. He also helps people managing ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and career or life-change concerns.

Dr. Ringhoff uses practical strategies in sessions. He combines mindfulness practices with cognitive and behavioral work to help people notice reactions and try different responses. He also draws on client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to focus on relationships and patterns that keep problems repeating.

Sessions are interactive and focused on the person’s goals. He aims to challenge unhelpful thinking and build skills for handling frustration, impulse, and communication problems. People can expect straightforward feedback and exercises to practice between meetings.

His background includes long-term clinical work with individuals who have experienced trauma, emotional abuse, legal involvement, or substance problems. That experience informs how he approaches issues like anger and emotional reactivity. He pays attention to how past relationships shape current behavior.

Dr. Ringhoff encourages pacing that fits everyday life. He works on concrete skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and cognitive restructuring alongside longer conversations about attachment and meaning. He asks clients to set clear goals and tracks progress over time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches explained and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anger tied to meaning, avoidance, or avoidance-based coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to test and change unhelpful thinking that fuels outbursts. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape reactions now, which can be useful when anger is tied to trust, abandonment, or communication issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods match a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions often combine skill practice with discussion about patterns that keep problems alive, and adjustments are made as needed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or evening routine, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows practice of skills in the environments where problems happen, such as trying breathing or grounding techniques between meetings and reporting back on what worked.
