My name is Dan Cooper, and I have been a licensed counselor since 2008. My path to this work was shaped early on by a year of public service with AmeriCorps, followed by time working in a transitional living program for homeless youth. Watching counselors help young people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives inspired me to pursue this work myself — and that sense of purpose has stayed with me ever since. My approach to counseling is fundamentally collaborative. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and circumstances. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to offer an outside perspective, help you clarify what you want, and support you in taking accountable steps toward your own goals. Together, we work as a team.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the same arguments, or wondering why things just don’t seem to get better no matter how hard you try—you’re not alone. Maybe your mind won’t slow down at night. Maybe conversations with your partner turn into the same frustrating cycle. Or maybe you’re carrying stress, anxiety, or emotional weight that no one else seems to fully understand. You might look like you’re holding it all together on the outside, but inside it feels exhausting. That’s where we start. In our work together, we focus on helping you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface—so you can stop reacting in ways that leave you feeling drained or disconnected. You’ll learn how to manage overwhelming thoughts, understand your emotional patterns, and respond in ways that feel more steady, intentional, and aligned with who you want to be. For couples, this means identifying the patterns that keep you stuck—those moments where communication breaks down, frustration builds, and connection feels out of reach. Together, we’ll work to slow those moments down, rebuild understanding, and create more supportive, respectful ways of relating to each other. My approach is straightforward and supportive. I won’t just listen—I’ll help you build practical tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life. At the same time, I make sure you feel heard, understood, and not judged. Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling clearer, more grounded, and better equipped to handle what’s in front of them. You don’t have to keep navigating this on your own. When you’re ready to feel more in control, more connected, and more like yourself again, I’m here to help. Schedule your first session, and let’s get started.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Missouri rather than a city like Kansas City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Missouri. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Missouri from Saint Louis to Springfield! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Missouri.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
