About Dan
Dr. Dan Moen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota with six years of clinical experience. He focuses on common household and personal struggles adults bring in - stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, and struggles with addiction or intimacy. He works with people who want clearer communication and steadier day-to-day coping.
He uses clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions often involve looking at patterns in relationships and behavior, naming what keeps problems repeating, and trying small changes to test what helps. He leans on methods that support emotional regulation and mindful action to ease overwhelming feelings.
His background includes focused work around attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, fatherhood issues, and family of origin problems. He also sees people dealing with eating or substance problems, control issues, and the guilt and shame that follow difficult choices. These focus areas guide the topics he brings into session.
Clinically he draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix lets him offer concrete skills, a focus on values and acceptance, and attention to relationship patterns that repeat across life.
Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, steadier emotional responses, and better communication at home and work. To begin, a short intake helps identify immediate concerns and priorities before planning next steps.
How sessions work
How Dan uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, value-driven steps even when feelings are uncomfortable. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck by shifting attention toward action and acceptance rather than fighting thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for managing mood, sleep problems, and stress by practicing different responses to upsetting thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will help figure out which methods fit best based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That is a collaborative process - goals get checked and adjusted as you try new skills and notice what helps in daily life.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing a steady plan of skill practice between visits and using homework or exercises that match the therapeutic approach chosen.
