Daniel Kyei
Hello, I am Daniel Kyei, LCSW, with 7 years of clinical experience. Are stress, a racing mind, and a feeling disconnected from family and loved ones completely overwhelming you? It is quite a struggle trying to navigate and overcome these heavy feelings on your own. I specialize in helping clients and couples identify and manage troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and guide them toward better coping skills, improved relationships, and a higher quality of life. I will utilize cognitive behavior therapy and eclectic models to address your current domestic or social stressors and concurrent psychological problems of trauma, anxiety, and depression.
First session
I employ warm, collaborative, and evidence-based modalities during my sessions. Using a person-centered approach, we will together sensitively and gently explore the underlying causes of your presenting problems and provide you with practical and actionable tools to manage your daily life
Strengths
Therapeutic rapport is central to my work to help you find emotional support, strength, and courage to forge on as you explore and address the root causes of your current struggles, overcome your emotional challenges, and effect positive changes in your life.
Ideal clients
Are you feeling dejected, exhausted, and emotionally drained and just waiting for the other shoe to drop? Yes, taking the first step towards getting help can feel intimidating. I am available to help you process your distress, identify negative automatic thoughts, and develop actionable coping strategies to improve your daily functioning, mend your broken relationships, and restore your emotional equilibrium.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I guide clients to identify negative automatic thought patterns, teach them how to reframe cognitive distortions, and practice actionable coping skills in daily living.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
I help clients to actively dispute their irrational thoughts and bring them to the realization that external events are not responsible for their feelings and that it is their internal beliefs that drive their emotional consequences.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
By utilizing a person-centered approach, I will work within a collaborative framework that emphasizes you—the client—as the expert of your life. You will not be a passive recipient of care but an equal partner with the emphasis on your unique values, goals, and strengths.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
The central approach to my therapeutic practice is solution-focused therapy, which is a goal-directed, short-term psychotherapy. Rather than focusing on the past or analyzing problems, we will concentrate on identifying your strengths and develop actionable strategies to create the future you desire.
Couples Counseling
Your therapy session will be a calm, nonjudgmental space to validate your feelings, share your vulnerabilities, and prevent arguments from escalating. As a neutral facilitator, I will help you communicate safely your deeper emotional needs, explore and uncover the underlying causes of your distress, and disrupt negative emotional cycles. I will help you focus on future resolutions rather than past grievances and build healthier skills in resolving conflicts.
