About Daniel
LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oregon with five years of clinical experience, Daniel Nishina helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. He also works with issues like addiction, grief, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, depression, and compassion fatigue. Daniel speaks English and has lived in Japan for many years, which informs his perspective.
Daniel uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and relational methods. He names humanistic relation-centered work, action-focused methods, cognitive-behavioral ideas, narrative approaches, and somatic awareness as elements he brings to sessions. In practice he pays attention to both thoughts and bodily responses, asking how each affects the other.
He emphasizes practical steps alongside reflective work. That can mean noticing thought patterns and testing them, or tuning into bodily sensations and responses. Daniel describes this as top-down and bottom-up work - looking at stories and meanings while also observing physical experience.
Daniel also considers a person’s family, social-cultural, and socioeconomic context when planning support. Recently he has placed more emphasis on how trauma influences current reactions and patterns. He draws on life experience, including many years living in Japan and long-term practice of aikido, in his way of working.
People can expect a straightforward, inquiry-oriented style that combines talk, practical actions, and attention to bodily experience. To begin, the standard first steps are completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Daniel describes his work as combining relation-centered humanistic ideas with cognitive-behavioral and somatic attention. Relation-centered humanistic work focuses on the therapeutic relationship and understanding a person’s experience. It helps with processing emotions and clarifying values. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. Somatic-informed work brings attention to bodily sensations and movement, which can help people notice how stress or trauma appears in the body. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapy process. He works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and current needs. That means checking in, trying an approach, and adjusting based on what helps the client make progress. Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow sessions during breaks from work or other commitments. Some approaches, like short action-focused check-ins, can work well when time is limited, while somatic work may involve guided body awareness that suits a quieter setting. Ask about session length and format when scheduling to match the approach to practical needs.Sheet 3
