Dr. Daniel Ringhoff, LCSW

Dr. Daniel Ringhoff is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience. He helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, stress, and major life changes. He speaks plain language and aims to make therapy approachable for those feeling overwhelmed in midlife and beyond.

He uses a warm, interactive, and non-judgmental style. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and practical steps they can try between meetings. He encourages new perspectives while respecting each person’s own knowledge about their life.

His work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting challenges, sleep problems, ADHD, and career questions. He also helps people cope with anger, bipolar symptoms, and complicated patterns like codependency and attachment difficulties.

Dr. Ringhoff blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. He draws on acceptance-based methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, attachment ideas, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to change.

He views therapy as a collaborative process. Clients can expect respectful conversation, tailored strategies, and support as they try new ways of handling stress and relationships. To begin, patients follow the site’s start process to match and schedule according to availability.

How his approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them, then move toward values-based actions; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns that developed early and helps people form more secure ways of relating to others, which can help with intimacy, trust, and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dr. Ringhoff works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as new issues or goals emerge, and he adapts techniques accordingly.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for different meeting rhythms like brief check-ins or longer weekly sessions. It can also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life examples into the conversation. Licensed professionals can help you decide how to structure sessions so they fit your routine and goals.
