About Daniel
Daniel Romo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and issues related to adoption and foster care. He focuses on practical steps that help people feel they matter and regain steady footing in day-to-day life. Daniel draws on ten years of clinical work in community settings to support goal-focused change.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University Fullerton and a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in trauma and Latinx studies from Pacific Oaks College. Early work included school-based services and designated instructional services in the Pasadena area, where he supported elementary and secondary students.
Daniel has worked in residential and nonprofit settings with at-risk youth, providing life-skills coaching and interventions to improve thinking and behavior. That experience included individual, family, and group counseling on concerns such as depression, impulse-control issues, anger, substance use, and interpersonal difficulties. He has also worked with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.
In sessions he emphasizes a client-centered, culturally aware stance. He helps people set short- and long-term goals and makes plans that fit each person’s background and needs. Techniques come from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and motivational interviewing.
People who choose Daniel can expect straightforward conversation and individualized plans aimed at practical change. He works from California and brings community mental health experience to families and individuals navigating life transitions and caregiving stresses.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, then working together to set meaningful goals and next steps. It helps when someone needs an empathic space to sort through priorities and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and then tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. It is useful for clear problems such as panic, low mood, or unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness-based strategies teach simple attention skills to reduce stress and reactivity. These techniques can help with anxiety, coping during life changes, and managing grief or caregiver strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from several approaches and adjusting the plan over time.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and family commitments and fewer travel needs. Online work can make it simpler to fit short check-ins or regular sessions into a busy week.
