About Daniel
Daniel Sorensen is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 17 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, and people coping with life changes. Daniel focuses on guilt and shame among other issues and helps people talk through what they are carrying.
He uses a collaborative, person-focused style that centers the client's voice. Sessions tend to look like practical conversations about feelings, patterns, and small experiments to try between meetings. He draws on client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to each person.
Daniel also weaves in existential ideas about meaning and choice when people are facing big life questions. This can help when someone feels stuck by doubt, regret, or hard decisions. Narrative methods are used to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves.
Mindfulness practices are offered to build attention and reduce the intensity of painful emotions. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help making a change but feels unsure or conflicted. These tools are used alongside open, reflective conversation rather than as a rigid protocol.
He has a track record working with grief, loss, and relational wounds, including issues tied to family of origin, abandonment, and forgiveness. Daniel also supports people with chronic illness, first responder stress, and the practical strains of blended family life.
People who contact him start with a short questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to see if the fit feels right. Sessions follow what each person needs as they work through guilt, shame, and related concerns.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities. In practice this looks like the therapist reflecting what the client says, asking clarifying questions, and shaping sessions around the issues the client raises. It is helpful for stress, anxiety, and relationship problems.Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, responsibility, and choice. It helps when people face big life transitions, questions about purpose, or regret tied to past decisions. Conversations draw out values and options rather than offering quick fixes.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce the intensity of painful emotions. Short practices and attention exercises are used to notice feelings like shame or guilt without getting overwhelmed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That choice may shift over time as needs change.
