Daniel Nishina is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon (OR LPC C7318) with five years of professional experience. He provides therapy for stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, career questions, depression, and compassion fatigue. He identifies as a male, older, non-religious therapist.
His clinical training and experience are eclectic, drawing on humanistic (relation-centered), action-centered, cognitive behavioral, narrative, and somatic approaches. He incorporates an awareness of a client’s family, sociocultural, and socioeconomic context into clinical work.
More recently his work has placed additional emphasis on the impact of trauma. He aims to build a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, safety, inquiry, and honesty so that change can begin in the therapy room and extend into everyday life.
Daniel lived in Japan for 14 years of his adult life and has spent more than 30 years pursuing the practice of aikido, a Japanese martial art.
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions - online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. This makes it a practical option for people seeking support for everyday mental health issues.
One key advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their life best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options often makes it easier to maintain consistent care alongside other commitments.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they are looking for a different fit. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of online care make it a useful step toward addressing mental health concerns and navigating personal challenges.
