About Daniel
Daniel Silverstein is a New York LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and practices in New York.
Daniel frames sessions as a place to talk through difficult feelings without judgement. He aims to help people name what is happening and notice how it shows up in daily life. He keeps conversation direct and calm, and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
He draws on several established approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means he pays attention to a person’s values, thoughts, and everyday actions. He also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing strategies when they fit the situation.
Beyond the core specialties, Daniel has worked with a wide range of concerns such as attachment struggles, body image, chronic illness and pain, divorce and separation, substance use, and communication problems. He helps people sort through how these issues affect relationships, work, and self-regard.
In sessions he combines talk with practical exercises. People can expect straightforward observations, questions that clarify what matters to them, and simple practices to try between meetings. His manner is relaxed and steady, aimed at making hard conversations feel more manageable.
How Daniel applies common approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It can help with guilt that keeps someone stuck and with anxiety that gets in the way of daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It helps people test unhelpful beliefs and try different behaviors to reduce distress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspective, using reflective listening and open conversation to help people feel heard and think things through.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Daniel treats that as a collaborative process and will help identify which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. He checks in about what is or isn’t helpful and adjusts the approach over time.
