About Daniel
Daniel Laluna is a licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois. He brings 13 years of experience to sessions and helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD. He works with children, adolescents, and adults and explains things in plain language to make therapy easier to follow.
He trained at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and earned a PsyD with a concentration in child and adolescent mental health from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. That background shapes how he thinks about relationships and development. He emphasizes attachment and relationships as central to progress and wellbeing.
In sessions he mixes approaches to fit each person's needs. He uses play-based methods and expressive arts with younger clients to help them share feelings without relying only on words. For older clients he uses insight-oriented work to notice patterns and try new ways of relating to others.
Therapy with him often looks like talking through recent struggles, trying simple exercises, and noticing relationship patterns that affect emotions and behavior. He draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match the issue at hand. The goal is practical change that fits into everyday life.

How his approaches translate to online work
Daniel draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques to match what a person needs. He often uses play-based approaches and expressive arts with children to help them share feelings through activities and creative expression rather than only talking. For adolescents and adults he uses insight-oriented methods that focus on noticing relationship patterns and understanding how those patterns affect mood and behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and adjust methods over time as needs change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify offered formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks from work or school. Some people also prefer sessions that rely more on conversation while others use creative activities adapted for a screen; the therapist will discuss what will work best for the client's situation.
