Daniel Henry-Wagner

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

Much of my work focuses on helping people who feel stuck in relationships or caught in patterns they don’t know how to change. This may include recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, difficulty communicating needs, boundary challenges, or uncertainty about how to move forward. I also work with individuals whose anxiety, depression, or stress is closely connected to relationship dynamics, major life changes, or feeling overwhelmed by competing demands.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and conversational. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and family-systems perspectives. Rather than simply giving advice, I work with clients to better understand what's happening beneath the surface, recognize patterns, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes that fit their goals and values.

Clients often describe me as approachable, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what's going on while also feeling supported and gently challenged when it may help you move forward.

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.
