About Daniel

Daniel Pineda is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on supporting people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He brings five years of clinical experience to his practice and frames work around respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Background and approach

Daniel emphasizes an open and approachable therapeutic stance that aims to honor each person’s growth and the active steps they take toward wellbeing. His style blends collaborative listening with evidence-informed methods drawn from Internal Family Systems, cognitive and narrative approaches, and client-centered care.

That combination allows him to tailor interventions to common concerns such as communication problems, social anxiety, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and complex mood or personality challenges. Daniel accepts clients in English and is available to international clients, offering flexible session formats to fit varied schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Daniel integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work to address internal conflict and values-driven change. IFS helps people identify and relate to different parts of themselves, which can be useful for resolving inner tension, shame, or trauma-related responses. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility, helping with anxiety, avoidance, and persistent difficult emotions.

He approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist and client explore goals, preferences, and how different techniques feel in practice, adapting approaches over time so the work aligns with the client’s needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience and accessibility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across schedules and locations while allowing clients to choose formats that feel most comfortable for their communication and daily life.
