If you’re feeling anxious, irritable, stuck in old patterns, or using substances just to get through the day, you’re not alone. Maybe panic or phobias keep shrinking your world, obsessions and compulsions won’t let you rest, or social and generalized anxiety (GAD) make it hard to show up. You might notice avoidant personality patterns, communication roadblocks, or a pull toward mindfulness and spirituality without quite knowing where to begin.
I love working with individuals and couples who want to feel more grounded, honest, and connected—people ready to build coping skills, emotional intelligence, and self-compassion, and to heal the habits that no longer serve them.
I’m Lance Danielsen, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California with 8 years of experience. I blend collaborative, compassionate care with practical tools: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful cycles; Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and couples therapy to strengthen bonds; Internal Family Systems (IFS) to honor inner parts; Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to grow what works; and mindfulness-informed approaches. I also support addiction, substance/drug use, dual diagnosis, smoking cessation, anger, stress management, bipolar disorder, panic, social anxiety, and more. I offer therapy in English for individuals and couples.
If this resonates, let’s talk. A simple first conversation can open a kinder, clearer path forward.
