About Daniel
Daniel Wongthavatchai is a California licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, with 15 years of professional experience. He helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, depression, and attention concerns. Sessions are offered in English and are held in California.
Daniel focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. He listens for patterns around anger, impulsivity, and communication. He helps clients name what leads to snapping or built-up resentment and then practices different ways to respond.
His work also addresses related issues like abandonment, attachment problems, guilt, shame, and difficulty forgiving. Daniel supports people exploring life purpose, men's issues, mood shifts, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. He brings 15 years of experience into these areas without promising any single outcome.
In sessions he prioritizes clear, direct discussion. People can expect to talk through specific situations, try out new responses, and reflect on what works. He pays attention to concentration or memory struggles when they affect daily functioning.

How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Daniel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change and emotional regulation. One common approach helps people identify triggers, notice bodily and thought responses, and practice alternative behaviors in-session and between sessions. This method is useful for anger, impulsivity, and panic symptoms.Another approach centers on improving communication and attachment patterns. It guides people to describe relationship moments clearly, test different ways of speaking, and reflect on how those changes affect interactions. This can help with resentment, control issues, and difficulties forgiving.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Daniel treats this as a collaborative process and will talk with the client about what feels most helpful. He adapts techniques based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences rather than offering one fixed method.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and having therapy without extra commuting time. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to test skills in real life and to follow up with short check-ins when needed.
