Daniel Downey brings 14 years of clinical experience supporting people in crisis and assisting those who live with the ongoing challenges of severe and persistent mental illnesses.
Much of his work centers on individuals facing stress, sudden life changes, anxiety, depression, and concerns related to being transgender or queer.
His therapeutic style is highly eclectic, blending psychodynamic perspectives with cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, rational emotive methods, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.
He is a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri and North Dakota (MO LCSW 2021020372 and ND LCSW 6274), and he provides services from his Missouri base.
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most convenient, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the format that works best for an individual’s needs.
Therapists available for online work are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. For many, online therapy provides an accessible and practical route to address everyday mental health concerns and life transitions.
