About Daniel

Daniel Echols is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting, self-esteem, grief, and life changes. He offers a calm, listening presence where people can feel heard and begin to sort through what is draining them. Daniel aims to help people find clearer direction, relief from stuck patterns, and more meaningful connections in daily life.

He uses person-centered care rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential ideas. Sessions often include practical steps and reflective conversation to help clients notice what matters most and act on those values. Daniel also incorporates attachment-focused work to look at how past relationship patterns affect current stress and connection.

Daniel describes his approach as open to spirituality and faith when that matters to the client. He brings 23 years of counseling experience as a backdrop while tailoring methods to each person’s needs. That experience shapes how he listens and suggests paths forward rather than following a single program.

In sessions people can expect both exploration and concrete tools. Work may include clarifying values, learning new ways to manage anxious feelings, addressing addictive patterns, or improving communication habits. Daniel aims to help people reconnect with their priorities and take manageable steps toward change.

He practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people typically use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches translate to online counseling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present-day trust and closeness, helping people change old reactive habits and improve connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and accepted; sessions focus on empathetic listening and supporting the person to find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed so the plan matches the client's priorities.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can still offer practical benefits: it can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people engage in reflective exercises, values work, and attachment-focused conversation from wherever they are, while the therapist and client work together to pace the work and choose useful tools.
