01About Daniel
Daniel Nishina is a licensed professional counselor in Oregon with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. Daniel also helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Daniel uses an eclectic mix of practical methods drawn from humanistic, action-centered, cognitive behavioral, narrative, and somatic approaches. He pays attention to how a person’s family, culture, and economic situation shape their struggles.
Background and approach
Lately he has put extra emphasis on the effects of trauma and how it shows up in daily life. Sessions aim to combine thinking and feeling work. That means looking at thought patterns and stories people tell themselves, while also noticing bodily responses and reactions.
Daniel encourages clients to identify unhelpful habits and try small, doable changes to break them. He frames therapy as a collaborative process. The goal is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where people feel able to be honest and curious about themselves.
From there, healing can begin in sessions and carry over into everyday life. Daniel’s background includes fourteen years living in Japan and more than thirty years practicing aikido, a Japanese martial art. These life experiences shape his perspective and inform a calm, grounded style in sessions.

Evidence-based approaches offered online
Daniel draws on cognitive behavioral work to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on small, practical steps that change how someone thinks and acts.He also uses somatic-informed methods that pay attention to bodily sensations and movement. This helps people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body, and learn ways to regulate physical responses alongside thoughts and feelings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Daniel will work with each person to test what fits their needs, goals, and comfort level. He encourages honest feedback so methods can be adjusted and combined over time to best support progress.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different rhythms of life. Video is helpful for deeper, face-to-face work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a challenge. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, follow-ups, or flexible contact between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family, and travel.
