About Daniel

Dr. Daniel Wallace brings a practical, skills-based approach to therapy. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people manage stress, improve self-esteem, and handle major life changes.

He is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Illinois and has seven years of clinical experience. Clients meet a therapist who focuses on clear, manageable steps. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of goals.

Background and approach

Daniel helps people build healthier habits, reduce impulsive reactions, and repair communication patterns. He often works with adults facing relationship strain, questions about identity, or the stress of young adulthood. Common concerns include family tensions, workplace issues, guilt and shame, and figuring out life purpose.

Therapy blends practical strategies with gentle reflection to make change easier to sustain. His style mixes structured techniques and short-term goal work with mindfulness practice. That means clients learn concrete skills they can use between sessions.

He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to support decision-making and small, steady progress. Daniel aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. He helps people talk through difficult feelings, set realistic goals, and take the next step toward a life that feels more in line with their values.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Dr. Wallace commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior, which can help with anxiety, self-esteem, and workplace stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they will try methods that suit the client's needs and adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with these methods. Video calls allow live practice of skills and direct conversation. Phone sessions work well when less bandwidth or no video is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
