About Daniel
Daniel Decker is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. He frames the work as a collaboration and treats clients as the experts in their own lives. Taking a first step toward change can feel risky, and he offers steady support through that process.
Daniel uses straightforward, practical conversations to find what helps. He listens first, then suggests small steps clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
He focuses on skills people can use day to day to reduce overwhelm and build routines that feel doable. In session he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that feed anxiety or depression.
His client-centered stance keeps the person’s goals central rather than following a rigid agenda. Over a decade of practice has included work with addiction-related concerns and chronic health and caregiving stress. He has experience supporting people facing end-of-life and hospice-related decisions, as well as those dealing with trauma, obsessive thinking, and personality challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and are available online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Daniel emphasizes practical tools, steady listening, and partnership so clients can try new ways of coping and notice what works for them.

How Daniel’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small steps toward those values even when feelings are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety or depression going, often using practical exercises between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering reflective listening and empathy.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will discuss each option with the client and together they will pick methods that match the person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaborative decision can shift over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, focused problem-solving, or support between longer sessions. These formats can help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady contact with a licensed professional.
