About Mitchell
Mitchell Daas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Background and approach
That means attention to how the body and emotions show up together during sessions. Mitchell’s style balances acceptance with change. He aims to be straightforward and compassionate.
Sessions focus on practical steps that match each person’s goals and values and on noticing bodily signals that relate to emotions. Clients can expect a mix of skills training, values-guided planning, and exploration of attachment patterns that affect relationships. He uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts and behavior.
Work on trauma includes gentle attention to how memories and sensations appear in the body. Mitchell offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as options.
People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.
Approaches that connect body, values, and relationships
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how sensations and posture mirror emotions and trauma. It can help people notice bodily cues that signal stress or safety and use that information to feel more steady during everyday life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small steps toward those values. It helps when worries or low mood get in the way of meaningful action by teaching skills to act despite difficult thoughts and feelings.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that repeat in close relationships. It helps people understand how early connection styles shape current trust, communication, and intimacy so they can try different ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions are tailored over time as priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial cues and body language, while phone sessions remove the need for video. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or for those who prefer written communication. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.
