About Daniel
Daniel Silverstein is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem, and depression. Daniel talks plainly and keeps sessions steady so adults can sort through what matters most at home.
He uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people notice patterns and make changes that fit their daily life. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and practicing present-moment awareness. Daniel also brings motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify goals and keep momentum.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental manner. The work centers on what the client wants to address and on making progress in concrete steps. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on real-life problems like communication, parenting stress, or low motivation.
Daniel draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to test thoughts against evidence and to shift behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs to build motivation for change.
He has additional experience with topics such as attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, addiction, divorce and separation, communication problems, and aging-related matters. Daniel conducts sessions in English and works from his New York LMHC credential.
How sessions work
Approach to therapy and using online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them, then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions around parenting or relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT can help with low mood, worry, and behavior patterns that make problems worse.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. This collaborative process means approaches may shift as needs change.
