About Daniel
Daniel Zarate Lustre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with eight years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, sleep problems, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Daniel offers sessions in English and Spanish.
He begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of him. Daniel treats the client as the expert on their own life and points to strengths they already have. Sessions are straightforward and aim to make small, usable changes over time. He encourages clear goals and practical steps between meetings.
Daniel uses several therapeutic approaches depending on the concern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's experience and priorities. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover long-standing patterns that affect present behavior.
His work often addresses everyday struggles like difficulty speaking up, feeling watched in social settings, or trouble falling asleep because of worry. Daniel also supports people dealing with life transitions, caregiver strain, chronic illness, or grief after a loss. He helps people break problems into manageable pieces and track progress.
Practical matters such as finances are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the person wants to talk about and follows their priorities. It helps people feel heard and keeps the work grounded in their own experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Both approaches are practical for addressing social anxiety, stress, and mood challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Daniel will collaborate with the client to try methods that match their goals and preferences. He will check in about what helps and adjust the plan as the work progresses so the methods fit the person rather than the other way around.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. They can also make it simpler to attend when energy is low or when stepping out for a break from work is required. Discussing scheduling and session length early helps shape sessions that match daily life and practical constraints.
