About Daniel

Daniel 'Dan' Sullivan is an informal, down-to-earth therapist who focuses on men's wellbeing along with general concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and career challenges. He uses a straightforward style that aims to make conversations feel natural and easy to start. Dan is a Licensed Master Social Worker, which appears as LMSW, and he has seven years of professional experience in Michigan.

Dan helps people talk through low motivation, self-esteem problems, confidence issues, and workplace stress. He also supports those navigating anger, impulsivity, and life changes. Sessions are framed around practical steps and clear goals rather than long, abstract talks.

His approach centers on building an open space where clients can say what they think and feel without judgment. He leans on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when clients want to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Dan also draws on solution-focused work to identify small, achievable changes that add up over time. That style helps people tackle career decisions, improve communication, and manage ADHD-related challenges in daily life. He aims to empower clients to make steady, realistic progress.

If someone wants to begin, they complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and schedule sessions according to his availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and sessions are conducted in English in Michigan.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist reflects feelings and priorities so people feel heard and can take the lead on goals. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort out values and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, anger, and workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on problems, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review helps keep momentum between longer sessions. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking so you know what to expect. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote work when they match the client’s needs and practical constraints.
