About Dan
Dr. Dan Moen is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction, and family of origin issues. He also addresses sleep problems, career transitions, grief, and compassion fatigue.
He prefers direct, practical sessions. Conversations focus on identifying the patterns that repeat from early family life. He helps people notice how roles, expectations, and communication habits from childhood still shape choices today. Sessions often include skill-building for emotion regulation and clearer communication.
His approach blends several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based decisions and living with difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections.
Dr. Moen also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional coping and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the person in front of him. These tools are applied in practical ways rather than theory-heavy explanations. Expect concrete steps to try between sessions.
He works with people dealing with family problems such as codependency, communication breakdowns, fatherhood concerns, and forgiveness or guilt struggles. He asks about past family roles without blaming parents, and helps clients decide what patterns to keep or change. The first meetings typically map current struggles and set short-term goals.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy issues and family of origin concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore a client's goals, preferences, and specific struggles and then recommend which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process and may shift as needs change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and skills practice that work well between appointments, regardless of session format. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT and ACT to remote conversations so clients can work on changing patterns from their everyday context.
