Daniel Bierma

Daniel Bierma, LMSW, focuses on helping people deal with stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, grief, and relationship and family concerns. He also supports people working through trauma, addiction, job stress, ADHD, and issues related to adoption and foster care. Daniel aims to listen first and help each person find practical steps toward their goals.

Daniel draws on decades of community work across schools, churches, hospice, and child welfare settings. He has experience supporting parents, grandparents, school leaders, and caregivers through behavior challenges and family conflict. That background shapes a straightforward, down-to-earth approach in sessions.

In the therapy room Daniel listens carefully and asks questions to clarify what matters most. He helps people identify small, realistic changes they can try between sessions. The work often focuses on improving communication, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions like anger or grief.

Daniel uses methods that emphasize relationships, personal values, and practical thinking. He borrows from attachment-focused ideas to look at connections, from client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities, and from cognitive behavioral tools to spot patterns that keep problems going. Therapy often blends these ways of working to match what a person needs.

People who choose Daniel can expect a respectful, accepting atmosphere and a focus on clear goals. He encourages clients to take an active role in planning change and measures progress in everyday life rather than only in sessions.
