Daniela Michel, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Daniela!

I strive to provide support, collaboration, guidance, and empathy. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life changes.

My focus

My style and approach are a good fit for adults impacted by depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, and life changes. I strive to help my clients overcome barriers and limitations created by society, environment, and childhood trauma.

My approach

My approach to therapy includes an eclectic style: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Humanistic, solution-focused, and Attachment-Based. I collaborate with clients to find the best approach based on their needs.

My communication style

My communication style is open, empathetic, reflective, unique, and receptive.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for becoming a therapist was sparked by my career as a behavioral therapist, where I provided support for individuals impacted by autism. Though I was a strong believer in cognitive behavioral therapy and had seen the successful outcomes for my clients, I realized there was an emotional component missing from this approach.

My goals for you

The creation of goals is a collaborative process unique to my clients' needs. As we establish rapport, together, we will determine your focus of treatment and create measurable goals. Together, we will measure progress along our journey to healing.

Our first session

During our first session, we will spend time exploring what led you to seek therapy and how you have been feeling emotionally and physically. We will also begin to establish rapport and determine if my approach is a good fit for your individual needs.
