Daniel Sorensen, LICSW

Daniel Sorensen is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. He works with clients who are questioning purpose, facing transitions, or feeling worn down by caregiving and compassion fatigue. Daniel practices with a calm, respectful manner and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful from the first visit.

In sessions he focuses on what matters most to each person. He listens closely, helps clarify values, and supports practical steps that fit daily life. Many people come for help with communication struggles, commitment worries, or the fallout from divorce and blended family situations.

Daniel also works with members of the LGBT community, and with people dealing with abandonment, aging concerns, chronic illness, or persistent feelings of guilt and shame. He draws on narrative and client-centered ideas to help people reframe painful stories and regain agency over choices.

He integrates mindfulness practices to reduce anxiety and build emotional regulation in short, teachable exercises. Motivational interviewing informs conversations about change so clients leave sessions with clear next steps rather than open-ended advice.

Located in Washington, Daniel brings steady, practical support for people navigating midlife shifts and other transitions. He encourages collaboration and tailors the pace and focus to each person’s needs.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy centers on the client's experience and goals. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find solutions that match their life. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and figuring out next steps during a life change.

Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and purpose. It helps people facing midlife shifts or feelings of isolation by examining values and responsibilities and exploring how to live more intentionally.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety. Short breathing or grounding exercises can be practiced between sessions to build steadier responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the focus and pace can shift as progress is made.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can connect from wherever they are living.
