Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Daniel Downey. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Daniel is very calm and collected even when I am having a moment. He helps me realize different points of thinking and is supportive of my needs. He helps guide me through my fears and anxiety and it's really helped me get back to feeling like my happy self

Daniel Downey has been instrumental in helping me manage my anxiety through a series of tough life events and stressful situations. He is a wonderful resource to listen, ask questions, provide suggestions and teach me some coping mechanisms I can use to lessen my anxiety.

I’ve only worked with him for around 3 weeks now, but I already think that he’s a great therapist. I feel better when talking about my issues with him and we can also crack a joke during the middle of the session to.

Daniel has been a tremendous help to me since I've been seeing him. I've made a lot of progress with moving beyond my trauma and controlling the anger that resulted from it. He's a great listener, knows his stuff, and is very personable so you're comfortable and feel like you're talking to a trusted friend than a stuffy therapist.
