Daniel Patten , LCSW

Daniel Patten, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in California with 25 years of professional experience. He has supported people managing addictions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and depression, bringing long-term clinical experience to each case.

He works from a strengths-based perspective, holding the view that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources that can help them overcome difficult situations. He also practices Dzogchen Meditation and encourages clients to consider a simple daily routine - at least 15 minutes of morning meditation - as a supportive habit to complement therapy. Daniel acknowledges that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and honors that decision as an important beginning.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can really make a difference. For most common concerns - like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the biggest advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect with their therapist in the way that feels most comfortable: through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.

Each therapist is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they would prefer a different fit.
