Daniel Pinney, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Daniel!

I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I aim to create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your emotions and achieve personal growth.

My focus

I work with adults, young adults, and families managing anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem issues, trauma, and those building coping skills. Whether you're working through difficult emotions or exploring personal goals, I'll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I use a mix of solution-focused, Family Systems, client-centered, CBT, and DBT approaches to help you reshape unhelpful thought patterns and increase healthy behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness.

My communication style

I value a calm, clear, and concise communication style. I engage in active listening and encourage moments of reflection. It is my goal to hear you and reflect back as much support and encouragement as possible to improve your current interactions, make sense of past issues, and achieve your future life goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, addressing a range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and substance abuse disorders. I have always had a passion for helping others and seeing them grow.

My goals for you

Therapy is a collaborative process where we identify and set goals such as improving relationships or building self-esteem. These goals may evolve as new insights are gained, and the plan can be adapted at any time. I'm here to provide you with the support and tools you need to continue moving closer to meeting your goals.

Our first session

Our first session will help us get acquainted, discuss your background, and review your goals for therapy. It's normal to feel nervous initially; we'll take it step by step, address any concerns you have, and I will be there to ensure we personalize a treatment plan to best help you through your mental health journey.
