About Daniel
Daniel Klinkert is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on two decades of practice and his own lived experience to support people facing addiction, trauma, and mood struggles. He uses an approachable, client-centered style and focuses on helping people regain steady ground when stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship problems feel overwhelming.
He has worked more than 18 years as a fully licensed therapist and has provided over 10,000 hours of individual and group psychotherapy. That experience includes developing professional trainings and researching psychosocial rehabilitation models, which inform a practical, real-world perspective in sessions.
Daniel tailors treatment to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. He draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation skills, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and motivational interviewing to support change. These approaches are mixed to match the goals a person brings to therapy.
Typical concerns he helps people address include depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also works with challenges such as caregiver stress, codependency, chronic illness, and life transitions like divorce or job change.
Sessions emphasize building a strong working relationship, identifying individual strengths, and practicing skills that can be used between meetings. Daniel holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and sees clients from Oregon and beyond.
Approach and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy puts the person first and focuses on building a strong working relationship. It helps people clarify goals and use their own strengths to make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that are useful when strong feelings or impulsive behaviors get in the way of daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and try out techniques between sessions to see what helps.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make access simpler for people who live outside the therapist's city or are arranging care across locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapy consistent with everyday life while focusing on skills, coping, and recovery.
