About Daniel
Daniel Leone is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He brings seven years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, and challenges with self-esteem. Daniel speaks English and Portuguese and meets with clients through video, phone, chat, or text messaging.
He blends an existential outlook with attachment-focused work to help people understand what matters to them and how relationships shape daily life.
Background and approach
In sessions he uses client-centered techniques to make space for each person’s story and practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT when habits or emotions feel overwhelming. Daniel often helps people cope with life changes, repair communication problems, and address family of origin concerns. He also supports work on abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and issues around guilt, shame, or forgiveness.
He offers direct strategies for impulsivity and managing strong emotions when they interfere with daily functioning. Therapy with Daniel centers on collaboration and clear steps. He works to create simple goals and practices people can use between sessions.
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change or understand. To begin, Daniel asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. His practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

Online support
Using approach and access to build change online
Daniel integrates existential therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered methods to guide online sessions. Existential therapy helps people name what matters and face life transitions with more clarity; it is useful when someone feels emptiness, meaning struggles, or has big life decisions to make. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and close relationships shape current patterns, which can help when communication, abandonment concerns, or trust issues repeat in adult life. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings, creating space for a person to lead the conversation and find their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then adjust methods together. This collaborative process can include short-term coping strategies and longer conversations about values or relationship patterns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or practicing new communication skills between sessions. Together these options offer flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent around work, travel, or other responsibilities.
