About Daniel
Daniel Silverstein is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. He speaks plain language and aims to make sessions feel calm and approachable. People can expect a nonjudgmental presence and a steady, relaxed style in conversation.
He blends somatic awareness with evidence-based therapies to help clients notice how their bodies hold stress and anxiety. That body-focused work is paired with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to clarify values, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build practical skills.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to help people pause and respond rather than react. Sessions begin by listening carefully to what matters most to the client. Daniel helps people set small, achievable goals and practices within sessions that translate to daily life.
He often uses breath, grounding, and movement to make shifts feel tangible rather than only intellectual. With nine years of clinical experience, he draws from different methods to match each person's needs. He keeps language simple and sessions direct so busy parents can follow along when time is short.
The focus is on steady progress, not quick fixes. Daniel works from New York as a licensed mental health counselor, and he conducts sessions in English. He aims to build a working relationship that fits each client's pace and priorities.
How somatic work and therapy tools translate online
Daniel uses Somatic Therapy to help people notice how stress shows up in their bodies, such as tightness, shallow breathing, or restlessness, and then practices simple body-based techniques to reduce that tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify what matters most to a person and to build small actions that align with those values. Client-Centered Therapy offers a supportive, listening stance so clients feel heard and can lead the pace of sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, adjusting as progress happens. The process is flexible and guided by the client’s priorities rather than a fixed plan.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. These options allow people to meet from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use shorter check-ins or longer conversations as needed. The variety of formats supports different learning styles and practical needs while keeping the focus on steady, usable changes.
