About Daniel Klinkert
Daniel Klinkert drew on his lived experience as a trauma survivor and a person in recovery from addiction to build a career in psychotherapy focused on empathy, practical skills, and long-term recovery. He specializes in treating depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, chemical dependency and process addictions, and trauma-related disorders, and he works with a wide range of issues that often accompany these concerns.
Over the course of a rewarding career he spent 18 years as a fully licensed therapist and amassed more than 10,000 hours of individual and group psychotherapy. His work has also included running a professional training company and conducting research into psychosocial rehabilitation models, experiences that inform his clinical perspective and commitment to evidence-informed care.
Klinkert practices from a client-centered stance, emphasizing a collaborative relationship that honors each person’s strengths and life story. While he integrates a variety of treatment modalities, he tailors interventions to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials, clinical social work licenses that reflect advanced training and supervised clinical experience.
He enjoys working with diverse clients and prioritizes building strong therapeutic relationships to help people apply their personal strengths toward the life changes and challenges they want to address.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care
Daniel Klinkert draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support people in online treatment. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship and helps individuals explore their goals and strengths while guiding the pace of work. CBT targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep people stuck. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing harmful coping strategies, which can be especially helpful for people struggling with emotional regulation and relationship conflict.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, address challenges in real time, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life with support from a licensed professional.
