    About Danis

    Danis Okang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and work through relationship and family concerns. He also supports people building self-esteem and confidence. Danis aims to meet people where they are and treats them with respect and compassion.

    He uses a conversational, tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation to identify what matters to the client. Danis adapts discussion and techniques to each person's needs and goals. He encourages small, manageable changes and helps clients notice progress along the way.

    His work draws on several evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and act in ways that match those values. Attachment-based ideas inform how relationship patterns and early experiences show up in adult life.

    Danis emphasizes sensitivity and compassion during sessions. He listens first, then helps create a plan that fits the client's priorities. Taking the first step is often hard, and he recognizes that courage. The focus is on steady progress and practical tools that people can use outside of sessions.

  2. Online approaches and how they can help

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be useful for habits, addictions, and strengthening motivation to try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that aligns with those values while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and a sense of life purpose.

    Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. It can help people recognize repeated patterns and try different ways of relating to others. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what shows up in sessions.

    Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions convenient for fitting therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier, allow for sessions without travel, and help maintain continuity when life gets busy. Licensed professionals can adapt the methods above to remote work, focusing on practical skills, motivation, and relationship patterns in ways that fit everyday routines.
