My name is Margarita "Maggie" Daniels and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Los Angeles, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with children, adolescents, and adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, and PTSD using an Eclectic mix of modalities in Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to chart a path forward.
My focus
My client population & specialty focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for teens and young adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a therapist I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was as a peer counselor in school, volunteering in my community, or being a trusted and loyal friend, I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves.
My goals for you
My goals for you My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy.
My first session with you
My first session with you. What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently, and for me to ask questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Each individual is different, and I like to listen first before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward.
