Dr. Daniel McCarthy

During my over 40 years of experience as a psychologist, I've found that many people feel so alone with their problems. Central to my approach to counseling is my belief that the relationship between the client and the counselor is critical for effective counseling. Only when a client feels that they are fully heard, understood, accepted and valued without judgment, does change occur. No problem is "too hard" and no revelation "too dark". Let me help you find a new path forward.

My expertise is in treating anxiety, panic, depression, grief, LGBTQ+ and many other issues. I utilize evidenced-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT has the general characteristics of being transparent, briefer, focused more on the present than the past and being highly collaborative.

We ALL have had problems. You are already a problem-solver and you have the resources and capabilities to address your problems and find solutions. You just may need some assistance.

The objective of our first session will be for me to get an in-depth understanding of your issues and for you to ask me any questions you have about the counseling process. We also want to clearly define what your goals for counseling are. While acquiring new skills and insights about your situation will occur during the counseling sessions, the majority of change takes place between sessions as you experiment with new ways of thinking and behaving on the path to a new way of being.
