About Daniel
Daniel "Dan" Norris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 20 years of professional experience. He works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety.
Dan keeps conversations direct and practical. He listens to what matters most and focuses on concrete next steps people can try between sessions. Sessions tend to center on what is happening now and what small changes could reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
His background includes long experience across clinical settings over two decades. That experience shapes a pragmatic approach to problems like addiction relapse, grief that keeps returning, or persistent shame about past actions. He uses methods known to help with mood, worry, and motivation and adapts them to the person in front of him.
People who come to him often want help sorting out decisions, repairing relationships through better communication, or finding a way to forgive themselves or others. Dan pays attention to how values, faith, and past events affect present choices and behaviors.
He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location. For international clients and English speakers, he offers services that can be arranged after the initial steps are completed.
How evidence-based methods are used online
Daniel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what clients do and think day to day. One common approach is behavioral work that identifies and changes patterns that keep anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors going. That kind of work breaks issues into manageable steps and helps people practice new responses between sessions.Another frequent element is problem-focused therapy that targets specific difficulties such as grief reactions, communication problems, or persistent guilt and shame. This involves clarifying goals, testing small changes, and reviewing what worked so adjustments can be made. Both approaches are practical and aim to reduce recurring distress by changing habits and thoughts that maintain it.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative selection may change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the specific session options available so they can be matched to your schedule and day-to-day needs.
