About Daniel
LMHC, LPC in New York with six years of clinical experience, Daniel MacCombie focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting, career concerns, depression, and coaching. He works with people who want practical help for everyday problems and life transitions. Daniel offers sessions in English and Spanish and practices from a secular, progressive perspective.
Daniel concentrates on clearer communication and problem-solving in relationships. He helps people clarify purpose, manage stress, and navigate parenting and career shifts. He also offers support around family-of-origin issues, blended family dynamics, fatherhood concerns, and caregiver stress.
He has experience addressing commitment and control issues, feelings of emptiness, isolation or loneliness, and the emotional effects that come from first responder work. Daniel also works with men’s issues and with people exploring BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture and how those concerns intersect with relationships and identity.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps. Conversations typically include identifying goals, noticing patterns, and trying specific strategies to change behavior or communication. Daniel describes his approach as evidence-based and grounded in straightforward, respectful dialogue.
People who choose him can expect a therapist who pays attention to culture and identity and how those shape day-to-day choices. He invites clients to test different ways of communicating and problem solving, then adjust what does and does not help. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to remote work
Daniel describes his methods as evidence-based techniques aimed at changing unhelpful patterns and improving coping. Cognitive-style work involves noticing thoughts that contribute to anxiety or low mood and testing different ways of thinking to reduce distress. This approach helps with worry, depression, and stress by making concrete shifts in daily reactions.Behavioral and skills-based strategies focus on what people do day to day. That can include practicing communication steps, scheduling activities to lift mood, or testing new ways of setting boundaries. These tools are practical for parenting challenges, workplace stress, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Daniel will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. He reviews what works and adjusts plans together so the therapy stays focused on useful changes.
Confirming session formats is recommended before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove travel time so appointments occur between commitments. Check the available session formats when you schedule to see which will work best for your routine.
