About Daniel
Daniel Romo is a California licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, grief, self-esteem, career shifts, and guilt and shame.
He talks with people about what matters to them and helps set short- and long-term goals. Sessions use clear, practical steps and try to reflect each person’s background and limits. He also draws on mindfulness and cognitive techniques to help people notice patterns and experiment with small changes.
Daniel trained in marriage and family therapy with a trauma and Latinx studies focus. Early work included school-based services and designated instructional services in the Pasadena area, and roles supporting at-risk youth in residential settings. That background shaped his experience with a wide range of concerns, including severe depression, impulse control issues, and substance-related problems.
He has worked in nonprofit community agencies where he provided individual, group, and family support. That work included helping clients from diverse backgrounds and interacting with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. He aims to be mindful of cultural differences and practical limits when planning therapy.
Daniel’s approach is client-centered and culturally aware. He uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. In sessions he helps people set realistic steps and check progress over time.
How Daniel brings core approaches to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. It centers the person’s goals and preferences and is useful for relationship, parenting, and grief concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical steps to try different ways of responding. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, guilt, and shame. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing sensations and thoughts without getting carried away by them and can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to identify current goals and preferences, try methods in session, and adjust as needed. That means a plan can change over time based on what is or isn’t helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that suits the schedule, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use video or phone options depending on bandwidth, comfort with being on camera, or the need for a quicker session during a break at work.
