It has been an awesome experience knowing I can talk about anything with Dr. Daniel. He's very clear with words and help me to get a better understanding of those words. It's pretty cool to hear him break down certain feelings into words that I can understand to elevate myself to more words. Thanks Dr. Daniel

More about Shaji
- 11 years' experience

- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Texas and A National Certified Counselor (NCC), dedicated to providing exceptional care and counseling for individuals and families dealing with various spiritual, emotional, and mental health issues. I earned my Ph.D. in counseling from the University of Cumberlands, KY, after completing the Master of Education in Professional Counseling from the University of Houston-Victoria. I also hold my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Theology.
With years of professional counseling experience as a counselor, pastor, and counselor educator, I have learned that physical and mental healing can be aided by a strong positive mind and trust in God. I am an interactive and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Counselor. I also adopt interventions from Solution Focused Brief Therapy to help clients find meaning and hope in their life. My approach in counseling is to collaboratively develop strategies that help the clients overcome their mental hurdles, effectively address personal life challenges, build their strength, and attain personal growth. I help clients identify maladaptive, dysfunctional thoughts and replace them with more functional and positive thoughts through cognitive restructuring interventions and reflection of thoughts, feelings, and meanings. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, Spiritual, cultural, and relational issues, and other mental health disorders.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

He's so kind and is very competent.
Dr. Daniel is a fantastic counselor. He helped me regain my confidence in learning how to challenge negative thoughts and stand up for myself in opening up to people who can help me. The tools he has given me will help me as I continue on. I can't do anything but thank him for what he has done.
Dr. Daniel is very patient and listens well. He often refers back to phrases or concerns I've mentioned. I find this to be comforting that he understands my emotions. Dr. Daniel challenges me to be present with my emotions and recall specific scenarios so we can work through the challenges. While this can be tough and frustrating at times, it is the work we put in that helps us grow!
