About Danis

Danis Okang is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and low self-esteem. He also supports clients facing panic disorder and panic attacks. Danis speaks plainly and treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

His approach is flexible and tailored to each person. He listens first, then works with clients to set practical goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use between appointments, such as managing strong feelings and improving communication.

Danis uses a mix of methods that fit the person rather than a single rigid model. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and client-centered techniques as needed. These methods are used to address mood, impulsivity, and relationship patterns.

Over two decades he has helped people build confidence and cope with life changes like divorce, midlife challenges, and grief. He emphasizes straightforward tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Clients who feel overwhelmed by panic or stress will find a focus on practical coping strategies.

Beginning therapy is framed as a shared process. Danis tailors conversations and plans to what each person needs. He encourages small, manageable steps and recognizes the courage it takes to start.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a life that matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety and panic symptoms.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches tools to change unhelpful thinking and build calmer responses to panic and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so adjustments can be made over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice skills in everyday settings and check in more quickly when new challenges arise. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the available options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
