01About Danis
Danis Okang is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, family concerns, and low self-esteem. He uses straightforward language and a calm presence to make difficult conversations easier to start. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate atmosphere so people feel heard and understood.
He focuses on practical steps that can reduce overwhelm. Sessions often include talking through patterns, learning coping skills, and setting small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
He adjusts pace and tools to fit each person's situation rather than using one-size-fits-all plans. Danis draws from several approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, emotion-focused work, and acceptance-based methods. That mix lets him help with symptoms like panic, mood shifts, and intrusive worries while also looking at deeper issues such as attachment or feelings of abandonment.
He also supports people facing difficult life changes, including divorce, midlife transitions, and struggles with purpose. Communication problems, control issues, and feelings of isolation are common topics he helps people untangle. Sessions may include practicing new ways to relate and manage strong emotions.
Danis tailors the conversation and treatment plan to the person in front of him. He highlights small wins and builds on what already works. If someone is ready to take a step, he helps them map out a clear, manageable path forward.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and mood swings. It often involves practical exercises and skill building between sessions.Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's situation and adjust the plan if something isn't working.
Online sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to work on stress, relationships, and mood without traveling to an office.
