About Daniel
Dr. Daniel Ringhoff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, parenting stress, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He also sees people coping with grief, career strain, sleep problems, ADHD, and the aftermath of trauma or abuse.
Ringhoff uses straightforward talk and active collaboration to address everyday household and parenting strains. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people test small changes in thinking and behavior.
His background includes long-term clinical work with people facing legal involvement, substance use, and mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation symptoms. He has supported adults who are caregivers or who feel overwhelmed by responsibility and stress. He also works with those processing separation, divorce, and complicated losses.
Therapeutic methods he draws on include mindfulness-based practices, cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work, and skills from dialectical behavior methods. These are used to manage strong emotions, reduce risky coping, and rebuild better daily routines.
Sessions are goal-oriented and practical. He helps people clarify what matters to them, notice unhelpful patterns, and build steps they can practice at home. People who want a direct, skill-focused approach to parenting strain, relationship tension, or mood and stress concerns may find this style a good fit.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose small steps that match their values. It can be useful for chronic anxiety, depression, and for people trying to manage urges or addictive behaviors.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and for developing practical coping strategies in parenting and daily life.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships. It can help people understand recurring conflict, intimacy concerns, and how they connect with partners or others in their household.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining skills work, mindfulness practices, and attachment-focused reflection over time.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into weekday breaks or evenings, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. Licensed professionals often use practical worksheets, between-session exercises, and brief skills coaching to help people apply new strategies in everyday family life.
