Daniel Fridley, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Daniel!

I work with adults using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with depression, mood disorders, anxiety, as well as grief and loss.

My focus

I have found that my approach works well with adults needing support with depression, mood disorders, anxiety, and grief. I work to bring tenderness to difficult times in life and elicit change.

My approach

My theoretical approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are approachable and allow for a collaborative and empowering experience for change and flourishing.

My communication style

My communication style is non-judgmental and supportive. I want my clients to adopt a curious mind, take an active role in therapy, and feel empowered to take risks and make changes when helpful.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always felt honored to offer tenderness, acceptance, and compassion when it is most needed.

My goals for you

I often set goals in a collaborative way with my clients. I offer my expertise and experience in treatments and elicit expertise about clients' lives. Discussing goals will be done from the first to the final session.

Our first session

A first session with me will focus on building a shared understanding of the problem, and each other, and exploring goals for treatment.
