About Daniel
Daniel Nishina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon. He brings five years of clinical experience and a calm, practical style to sessions. Daniel’s work often focuses on anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and loss.
He uses a mix of approaches that include humanistic, cognitive behavioral, narrative, and somatic ideas. That means he pays attention to both thoughts and bodily responses. Sessions tend to include noticing patterns, trying small behavioral changes, and talking through the stories clients carry about themselves.
Background and approach
Daniel also considers a person’s family, cultural, and economic background when planning care. He aims to build a trusting relationship where people can speak honestly and begin to let go of stuck reactions. This process is described plainly and with respect for each person’s pace.
Because of his life experience in Japan and long study of aikido, Daniel often brings an awareness of movement and balance into conversations about coping and change. He helps people connect what they feel in their bodies with the things they think and do.
In practical terms he works with common life struggles such as relationship and family tension, addiction and compassion fatigue, career stress, and self-esteem issues. He focuses on helping people find steady, manageable ways to respond differently to old patterns.
What Daniel works with
Everything Daniel lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Daniel's practice.
Practical approaches for online therapy and anger work
Daniel often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people identify and change thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. That approach breaks problems into clear steps and offers concrete tools to try between sessions.He also uses somatic-informed practices that attend to bodily sensations and movement. These techniques help people notice how tension shows up in the body and learn simple ways to reduce reactivity through breath, posture, and grounding skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls let people work face-to-face when longer conversations are needed. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers not to use a camera. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions and to practice new skills between meetings.
