I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Texas and A National Certified Counselor (NCC), dedicated to providing exceptional care and counseling for individuals and families dealing with various spiritual, emotional, and mental health issues. I earned my Ph.D. in counseling from the University of Cumberlands, KY, after completing the Master of Education in Professional Counseling from the University of Houston-Victoria. I also hold my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Theology.
With years of professional counseling experience as a counselor, pastor, and counselor educator, I have learned that physical and mental healing can be aided by a strong positive mind and trust in God. I am an interactive and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Counselor. I also adopt interventions from Solution Focused Brief Therapy to help clients find meaning and hope in their life. My approach in counseling is to collaboratively develop strategies that help the clients overcome their mental hurdles, effectively address personal life challenges, build their strength, and attain personal growth. I help clients identify maladaptive, dysfunctional thoughts and replace them with more functional and positive thoughts through cognitive restructuring interventions and reflection of thoughts, feelings, and meanings. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, Spiritual, cultural, and relational issues, and other mental health disorders.
Additional areas of focus: Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Coping with life changes, Communication problems, Immigration issues, Multicultural concerns
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Shaji Daniel. 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.
Dr. Daniel has been the perfect solution to me overcoming an extremely unfamiliar time in my life. He listened intently. He provided feedback that was spot on. The tasks were relevant and applicable. He also held me accountable to ensure I was progressing, and encouraged me along the way!
I'm so very grateful for him and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a calm, safe place to feel, heal, and grow.

It has been an awesome experience knowing I can talk about anything with Dr. Daniel. He's very clear with words and help me to get a better understanding of those words. It's pretty cool to hear him break down certain feelings into words that I can understand to elevate myself to more words. Thanks Dr. Daniel
