Daniel Romo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California who focuses on helping people feel they matter. He works with issues like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. He draws on a decade of practice to help people set and meet goals that feel doable.
He uses clear, practical conversations to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions typically focus on building skills for coping with life changes, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming thoughts. Daniel also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, and career or family stresses.
Daniel earned his undergraduate degree in psychology at California State University Fullerton and a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College with a specialization in trauma and Latinx studies. Early work in schools and residential settings gave him experience with structured care plans and with at-risk youth.
Much of his work has been at non-profit agencies where he provided individual, family, and group services on a range of concerns. That background shaped his preference for customizing plans that fit a person’s background and life demands. He also has experience working with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.
In sessions he emphasizes a culturally aware, client-centered approach. He combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help people take practical steps. Clients shape the goals and pace of therapy.
How Daniel’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own answers, which is useful for concerns like low self esteem and relationship worries.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical steps to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. It often supports emotion regulation and managing overwhelming reactions to past hurt or ongoing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. Sessions can be adjusted as progress and circumstances change, so the plan stays aligned with what the client finds useful.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or school commitments.
