Daniel Klinkert was drawn to a career in psychotherapy by his lived experience as a trauma survivor and as a recovering addict, which shaped his commitment to this work. He brings 20 years of experience to his practice and has spent 18 of those years working as a fully licensed therapist, accumulating more than 10,000 hours of individual and group psychotherapy.
He specializes in treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues, chemical dependency, process addictions, and trauma-related disorders. His career also includes running a professional training company and conducting research into psychosocial rehabilitation models, experiences that inform his clinical perspective.
Daniel practices in Washington and is a licensed clinical social worker in both Oregon and Washington, holding professional license numbers L7833 and 61311668. His approach is client-centered and tailored to each person - he is open to a range of therapeutic modalities but emphasizes individualized care. He enjoys working with a diverse client base and focuses on building strong therapeutic relationships while helping clients apply their own strengths to overcome life challenges.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can actually help. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions - online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable to them: through video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Additionally, therapy delivered remotely is provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, effective way to work on mental health and wellbeing.
