Daniel Sorensen, LICSW

Daniel Sorensen, LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker), is a Washington-based therapist with 17 years of experience helping people navigate complex and often painful life moments. He approaches each client with compassion and tailors care to the specific patterns, values, and goals an individual brings to therapy, creating space for both practical skill-building and deeper personal exploration.

His practice focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions, with particular experience working with LGBTQ+ communities and those facing changes in relationships or identity. Daniel also helps clients address interpersonal challenges, communication difficulties, and concerns related to self-worth, isolation, and purpose, guiding them toward greater emotional resilience and clarity.

Committed to a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship, Daniel emphasizes empowerment and gradual, meaningful change. He works to help clients heal from past experiences, strengthen coping strategies, and discover more sustainable ways of living that align with their values. He welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds and aims to accompany each person with steady professional support as they pursue growth and greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Daniel brings several complementary approaches to online therapy, adapting them to fit each person's situation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and acceptance, helping clients feel heard as they explore personal values, relationships, and decisions. This approach is useful for improving self-understanding and communication. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce reactivity to stress and manage anxiety, which can support emotional regulation and day-to-day coping. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice, and responsibility, helping people facing life transitions, questions of purpose, or feelings of isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Daniel works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists can draw from multiple approaches to tailor care rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule consistent sessions and access support from different locations. These options can help people engage in therapy in ways that match their daily routines, reduce travel needs, and provide more immediate ways to communicate when challenges arise.
