Hello there! My name is Dan Porter. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota with over 20 years of experience working in the Mental Health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting problems, ADHD, relationship issues and adoption. Primarily, I have been working with individuals and parents/couples and children of all ages including GLBTQ community.
I am a person centered therapist with a warm and compassionate style. I believe in treating others with respect and dignity no matter there background, condition, ethnic, cultural or religious beliefs. I will meet you where you are and move along at your pace. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, and my approach is hands-on and interactive.
I acknowledge the courage it takes to seek support to find a more fulfilling and happier life and commend you for your choice in reaching for that goal. I look forward to working together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Only been with Danny 2 sessions and already notice a big change in myself. He is so attentive and spends him time making sure I’m ok. He is easy to talk and listens so well. I’ve learnt some great tips from him in such a short space of time and look forward to staying with him. Thank you Dan!
Danny he is amazing and helpful but the only problem with me was the time zone
