About Daniel
Daniel MacCombie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New York with six years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, career changes, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Daniel focuses on practical conversations that help people sort through next steps after big changes. He talks through communication problems, commitment concerns, and blended family issues. He also supports those dealing with isolation, caregiver stress, and fatherhood questions. He is familiar with BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture and with how those topics intersect with relationships and identity.
In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, stress, and relationship patterns. He pays attention to how family of origin issues and life transitions shape current choices. He often works on clearer communication and manageable plans for change rather than long abstract talk.
Daniel describes his approach as collaborative and grounded. He tends to focus on concrete steps, skills, and reflections clients can try between meetings. He also brings attention to cultural and identity factors that affect goals and decisions.
People seeking help with career direction, parenting strain, or a sense of emptiness may find his style straightforward and practical. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see how the fit feels.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Daniel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, stress, and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on skills training for managing anxiety and depression, teaching breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm. Another approach addresses communication and relationship patterns by practicing clearer ways to state needs and set boundaries, which can help with parenting and blended family challenges.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest options. Together they decide what to try first and adjust based on what helps most in daily life.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow short check-ins when needed, and reduce time lost to travel. It can also let people connect from another location when juggling work, caregiving, or appointments. Ask about available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your needs.
