About Daniel
Dr. Daniel Ringhoff is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. He works with adults who are coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, and stress-related problems. He also supports people facing parenting challenges, grief, trauma and issues that often overlap with codependency concerns.
He prefers a direct, interactive way of working. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can try between meetings. He uses mindfulness, cognitive techniques, and approaches that consider attachment and emotional patterns.
In sessions he listens for patterns that keep someone stuck - people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of themselves in relationships. He helps people notice those patterns and try different responses. Conversations can include behavior change strategies, emotion regulation skills, and exploring how past relationships shape current reactions.
He draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when strong emotion makes it hard to think clearly. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to help people choose actions that fit their values while accepting difficult feelings. He also brings client-centered attention to what each person says matters most.
Practical matters are part of the work. He helps people build small routines for sleep, stress, and coping. He also addresses work and career pressures when those drain energy from relationships and self-care.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them while choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when avoidance or fear stops someone from making changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions, which can explain repeated patterns in close relationships. It can help people who find themselves repeatedly losing boundaries or clinging to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by testing unhelpful beliefs and practicing different actions, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help figure out what fits best based on goals, problems, and how a person responds in early sessions. Plans can shift over time as new issues appear or priorities change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know exactly what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use exercises and skills in the middle of real-life moments, then bring observations back to the session for discussion.
