About Daniel
Daniel Romo, LMFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 10 years of experience. He focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, grief, and self-esteem. Daniel also addresses career changes, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
He works in straightforward, practical ways. Sessions often involve setting short-term goals and identifying small steps a person can try between meetings. Daniel uses direct conversation, thought‑behavior work, and mindfulness exercises to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
His background includes work in schools, non-profit agencies, and residential settings. That work involved individual, group, and family contacts and supporting people with a wide range of difficulties. He has experience supporting people who are Deaf or hard of hearing and those connected to adoption and foster care situations.
Daniel trained at California State University Fullerton and earned a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College with a specialization in trauma and Latinx studies. He spent early years providing school-based services and helping at-risk youth build life skills.
In sessions he draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness tools. He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when useful. The focus is on clear goals, practical steps, and checking what helps in everyday life.
How his approaches translate to online work
Daniel uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, worry, and patterns that keep problems going. He also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and shaping goals the person finds important. That helps when someone wants practical, person-driven steps rather than long explanations.Mindfulness work is offered to help with present-moment awareness and calming reactions. Simple practices can be used between sessions to reduce stress and improve attention. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; Daniel works with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
