About Daniel
Daniel MacCombie is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and career or parenting challenges. He practices in New York and offers therapy in both English and Spanish. Daniel draws on six years of clinical experience to support people during major life transitions and stressful periods.
He focuses on practical changes that fit daily life. Sessions often look at communication patterns, relationship dynamics, and how family history shapes current choices. He also supports people exploring identity, life purpose, and non-traditional or alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.
Daniel aims for a collaborative style. He listens closely, asks clear questions, and works with each person to set concrete goals. That approach is intended to make progress feel measurable and relevant to real-world demands like work or parenting.
He pays attention to how culture, identity, and lived experience influence a person's situation. This secular, progressive stance means conversations stay focused on what matters to the individual rather than on religious frameworks. Daniel also helps with caregiver stress, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, and first responder stress.
The practice balances reflection with action. People can expect both supportive discussion and practical strategies for communication, commitment questions, and rebuilding connection after conflict. Overall, his work is aimed at helping people find clearer direction and greater resilience.
Approaches that guide online work and wellbeing
Daniel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach he uses helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood; this method is useful for stress, work pressure, and depression. Another common component focuses on improving communication skills through role practice and feedback so people can handle conflict, set boundaries, and strengthen relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress or barriers appear. Clients help decide which methods feel most useful and relevant to their day-to-day life.
If you prefer online care, confirm the exact session formats before booking since specific options were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication practice, and coaching-oriented work to an online setting to support work and wellbeing.
