Danis Okang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience providing therapeutic support to adults facing a range of life challenges. He is licensed in Ohio and Pennsylvania and has worked extensively with people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship conflicts, family concerns, motivation struggles, and self-esteem and confidence issues. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to address the unique needs and goals of the individual.

Danis draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and clarify life purpose. He emphasizes a collaborative working relationship in which the client’s priorities guide the work together. He also recognizes that beginning therapy can feel daunting and supports people through that initial step with encouragement and practical guidance.

Through a patient-centered stance, Danis aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore attachment and abandonment concerns, manage mood and panic symptoms, process trauma, and work on issues such as forgiveness, guilt, and impulsivity. His long experience informs flexible care that adapts to the changing needs of each person he sees.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Danis uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and build practical skills for taking meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and situations where motivation or life purpose feels unclear.

He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns of relating and emotional bonds that affect relationships and family dynamics. This approach supports work on abandonment concerns, communication problems, and rebuilding trust in close connections.

Danis integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to mood disorders, panic, and impulsivity. He works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs and goals, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Danis is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from home, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional to pursue lasting change.
