About Danis
Danis Okang is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 20 years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and problems with self-esteem. He also supports those struggling with guilt and shame, abandonment and attachment issues, and related concerns.
He favors straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what gets in the way of daily life. He listens to the facts of a situation, then helps identify small, practical steps to reduce overwhelming feelings and repeated patterns. Expect a calm, direct approach rather than abstract theory.
Danis draws on several evidence-based methods to structure sessions. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to map how thoughts and actions interact. He brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people notice and move through difficult feelings. Attachment-based techniques are used when past caregiving relationships shape current trust and closeness problems.
Over two decades he has helped people with panic, mood concerns, and trauma reactions as well as issues like impulsivity and isolation. He works with everyday life problems such as divorce, communication breakdown, and managing control issues. He also addresses body image and life purpose questions.
If you decide to begin, the usual process starts with a short questionnaire and a first session to set priorities. Sessions are adapted to the client’s needs and practical goals. For language, he provides services in English only.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate their actions. In practice this means learning small, values-based steps to try despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape trust and closeness now and uses conversation to untangle those patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion often happens in the first few sessions and can change over time as priorities shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins between commitments, reduced travel time, and the ability to have sessions when a regular commute would be difficult. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises to work well over a screen or phone, for example using simple home-based behavioral practices or shorter skill-building sessions to match a caller’s schedule.
