Daniel Echols, LPC

Daniel Echols is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 23 years of experience. He works with people who feel anxious, depressed, stuck, overwhelmed by parenting or caregiving duties, or weighed down by relationship patterns such as codependency. He also supports people facing addiction, grief, career crossroads, and questions about identity and life purpose.

Daniel follows a person-centered approach that centers the client's own values and voice. He mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential ideas to help people notice what truly matters, tolerate hard feelings, and take practical steps aligned with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools are used when helpful for thoughts, emotions, and connection patterns.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Daniel listens, reflects what he hears, and offers techniques to try between sessions. He may introduce exercises that focus on values, behavioral experiments, or ways to shift painful interaction patterns that keep someone stuck.

His faith perspective is open and can be included if a client wants that conversation. He describes spirituality as a supportive resource rather than a required element of treatment. He uses creative exploration alongside established therapeutic methods to help people find clearer direction.

People who choose his approach often want practical changes - clearer boundaries, less people-pleasing, improved mood, or relief from addictive urges. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session to see how the work will proceed.
