Daniel Mossel
(he/him)
Hello. I am a licensed Mental health counselor based in New York State. I specialize in ADHD and helping people of all ages adapt to authority and set healthy boundaries in the home, work and academic environment. Navigating often invalidating systems can be complicated, so I make my therapeutic approach as straightforward and understandable as possible by focusing on specific skills to help you thrive. I focus the first few sessions on past experiences leading up to therapy, including any prior experiences with therapy. This allows me to establish shared goals and expectations for working together.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first sessions I would like to go over what experiences have led you to therapy as well as your past experiences in therapy. I would like to learn how you view therapy and why it is important to start now. I would also like to know about your goals and expectations for therapy.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I’ve been working successfully with children and adults who otherwise struggle to develop healthy working relationships with mental health professionals for the last 5 years. This also applies to those struggling to develop healthy and trusting relationships more broadly. If you find yourself avoiding relationships you’d otherwise enjoy for fear of losing your autonomy, I believe my approach would be a good fit.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is someone who is looking for ways to cope with anxiety and depression. I find that many of my successful clients have had mixed feelings about starting therapy and I like to point out that therapy is difficult even if you have a great provider. I encourage my clients to develop short-term goals that range from practicing skills to finding ways to practice trusting others to taking moments to self-validate. A great deal of therapy involves understanding your life patterns and beliefs about safety, self-esteem, control, and feeling close to others. My aim is to show you where to look, but not to tell you what to see.

My treatment methods
Supportive
I approach therapy in a straightforward and understandable manner. In addition to being supportive and affirming, my therapy is skill-based and will teach you how to handle difficult situations, transform your emotions through action, increase your awareness without judgment, and thrive in relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I work with individuals to help identify patterns of thinking and feeling that result in a cycle of distress. I believe people are capable of managing intense emotions through both coping skills and by reflecting on beliefs. My practice also includes the practice of mindfulness, where observing emotions nonjudgmental.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I am trained in evidenced-based therapies for working with trauma such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Trauma therapies are not a one size fits all approach, though this therapies works well for people who believe last recovery from symptoms is important. Typically, this therapy takes 12-15 sessions, with practice in between sessions.

Daniel listened to me and gave great feedback and was very intelligent with this feedback. I appreciated the willingness to absorb what I am currently experiencing and giving me knowledge on why and what it is that I am experiencing. It was overall an incredible first therapy experience for myself which I greatly appreciate.
