Daniel Henry-Wagner

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of experience working in community behavioral health and private practice. I work with adults, couples, and teens navigating relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and parenting challenges.

A large part of my work focuses on helping people who feel stuck or uncertain in their relationships—especially when they notice repeating patterns, emotional disconnection, or difficulty setting and maintaining boundaries. Many of my clients are high-functioning in other areas of life, but feel overwhelmed or confused about how to move forward in their personal relationships.

I also support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress that are closely tied to relational dynamics or major life changes. I have extensive experience working in community mental health settings as well as private practice, which has shaped a flexible, grounded, and collaborative approach to therapy.

Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to, with a style that balances support, curiosity, and gentle challenge.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and integrative. I draw from mindfulness-based practices and relational frameworks to help clients better understand themselves in the context of their relationships, patterns, and life experiences.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine, supportive relationship where clients feel safe, understood, and also gently challenged when they are caught in patterns that no longer serve them. I see my role as helping clients slow down and notice what is happening beneath the surface—especially in moments of conflict, disconnection, or emotional overwhelm.

Much of my work focuses on identifying and shifting long-standing relational patterns, particularly around communication, boundaries, and emotional responsiveness. I also incorporate practical strategies when helpful, so clients can make meaningful changes in their daily lives—not just gain insight, but build new ways of responding and relating.

I tailor my approach to each person or couple I work with, balancing reflection, curiosity, and skill-building based on what feels most useful in the moment.

In our first session, you can expect a relaxed and supportive conversation focused on getting a clear understanding of what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’re hoping will feel different in your life or relationships.

We’ll talk through what has been feeling most challenging

lately, as well as any patterns you’ve noticed that tend to repeat in your relationships, emotions, or day-to-day life. There is no pressure to have everything figured out—I’ll help guide the conversation so we can start making sense of things together.

A key focus of the first session is building a sense of comfort and fit. Many clients come in feeling uncertain about therapy or unsure of what to say, and that is completely okay. My goal is to create a space where you feel at ease, heard, and not judged.

By the end of the session, we’ll begin identifying a direction for our work together and discuss what ongoing therapy could look like based on your goals and needs.
