Dr. Dan Moen, LMFT

Dr. Dan Moen is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Minnesota with six years of experience. He works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions, and codependency concerns. He also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and career or life transitions.

Clients meet a therapist who focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions look at how patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing yourself in relationships affect daily life. He uses straightforward tools to help people notice their habits and try different ways of responding.

Dr. Moen draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. He may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help name values and choose actions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and client-centered methods also appear in his work when helpful.

In sessions he focuses on practical skills - communication strategies, boundary-setting practice, distress-management skills, and planning around substance use where relevant. He will also address caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, family of origin concerns, and intimacy-related worries when they come up.

People seeking help with feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, commitment or control problems, or recovery from infidelity or other betrayals often find this approach useful. To begin, he asks about what matters most to the client and what small steps feel doable next.
