About Daniel

Dr. Daniel Ringhoff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 17 years of practice. He sees adults dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, parenting strain, relationship problems, stress, and other life transitions. He also lists work with family concerns and attachment-related patterns that often come from the family people grew up in.

He takes a straightforward, conversational approach in sessions. He listens to what matters most and helps people sort priorities. He uses mindfulness and practical cognitive tools to reduce intense moments and improve daily functioning.

His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered methods. That mix is used to address mood issues, impulse control, communication difficulties, and coping with losses or big changes. Sessions include talking through patterns, practicing alternative responses, and building simple routines for sleep, stress, and relationships.

Ringhoff encourages people to notice how early family roles affect current choices. He helps identify repeating patterns and offers ways to try different behaviors. He also addresses challenges that come with caregiving stress, grief, and shifts in work or parenting responsibilities.

Practical steps are a common focus. He works on problem solving, emotion regulation skills, and clearer communication. The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions to feel more in control and make steady progress.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking action that matches what matters. Online ACT work often includes exercises to practice noticing thoughts and choosing small actions to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In an online session CBT may involve reviewing thought records, setting behavioral experiments, and planning homework between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and communication. Online sessions can use that lens to identify repeating roles and try new ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process sets priorities, picks techniques to try, and checks whether they are helping over time.

Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm the specific online options before scheduling. Online meetings can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for remote work so people can practice the same skills between meetings.
