Dr. Shaji Daniel, LPC

Dr. Shaji Daniel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. He combines straightforward talk with practical steps to help clients feel steadier in daily life. He speaks English and Malayalam and brings 11 years of counseling experience to his work.

He uses Client-Centered ideas to listen without judgment and to help people shape goals that matter to them. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and to practice small changes that reduce worry and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy tools are used to identify what is already working and build on those strengths.

Dr. Daniel draws on years as a counselor, pastor, and counselor educator to offer grounded, values-aware support. He often helps people facing relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, and the everyday challenges that follow big life changes. He also pays attention to communication problems, immigration issues, and multicultural concerns.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, doable strategies: naming thoughts and feelings, testing new behaviors, and setting short-term goals. He works with clients to replace patterns that cause distress and to strengthen coping skills for day-to-day life.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling step are used to connect people with his work. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Dr. Daniel uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening space where concerns are heard and personal goals are shaped. This approach helps people clarify what they want from counseling and steers sessions toward those priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and to try small experiments that change those patterns. It often suits people who want practical steps to reduce worry, improve sleep, or manage stress.

Solution-Focused Therapy highlights current strengths and small successes. It helps clients find quick, realistic ways to move forward when life feels stuck or overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs rather than applying one fixed method. Together they set short-term goals and check progress as work continues.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find video or phone conversations convenient for staying consistent while managing work, family, and daily routines.
