About Daniel

Dr. Daniel Ringhoff helps people who are dealing with sleep problems, anxiety, depression, addictions, or major life changes. He presents ideas in a calm, straightforward way so clients can try them out between sessions. His tone is warm and nonjudgmental while still encouraging people to try new perspectives.

He is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with 17 years of experience. That background includes supporting people coping with trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career challenges, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues linked to attention and mood. He combines practical strategies with attention to how life events affect daily routines like sleep.

In sessions he focuses on goals the client sets. Conversations often include mindful exercises, behavior-focused steps, and talking through patterns that get in the way of rest and recovery. He also uses tools to manage strong emotions and improve everyday coping skills.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where the therapist listens first and then offers options to try. Work may involve practicing skills between meetings, checking progress, and adjusting the plan as needed. The aim is to make problems feel more manageable and to build routines that support better sleep and functioning.

Dr. Ringhoff emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical problem solving. He frames therapy as a step-by-step effort toward clearer goals and steadier daily routines rather than a single quick fix.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can help when worry or rumination interferes with sleep or daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete steps to change them, which often includes sleep-focused routines and habits. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and safety; it can help with relationship and intimacy issues that affect rest and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try a few methods, and adapt what you do together based on what helps. This decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to practice sleep and relaxation techniques in real-life settings and then discuss what worked in the next meeting.
