Daniel Specian

Hi, I’m Daniel, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with four years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, men’s issues, and life transitions. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University and take a warm, collaborative approach tailored to each person’s needs. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, better understand yourself, and develop practical tools to move forward. I’d be honored to support you in building greater confidence, self-awareness, and a life that feels more fulfilling.

My approach to therapy is warm, direct, and collaborative, and I believe therapy should be a space where you can be yourself without judgment. I bring my personality into the room and will genuinely listen, but I’m also comfortable challenging you when I think it can help you grow or see something from a different perspective. I draw from DBT, CBT, ACT, attachment-based, somatic, and psychodynamic approaches to help you understand both what you’re experiencing now and the deeper patterns behind it. My goal is to help you build practical skills, develop greater self-awareness, and create meaningful change that carries into your everyday life.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about what you’re experiencing, your history, and what you hope to get out of therapy, while giving you space to share at your own pace. You can expect a relaxed, conversational environment where you can be yourself without feeling judged. By the end of the session, we’ll begin identifying your goals and developing a plan for how we can work together moving forward.
