About Danis

Danis Okang is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, relationship strains, family conflict, and challenges with self-esteem.

Background and approach

He draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person, helping to address related areas such as attachment concerns, body image struggles, panic symptoms, mood challenges, and trauma-related responses. He works from a respectful, compassionate stance and adapts conversations and treatment plans to the needs of each client.

Techniques include parts work informed by Internal Family Systems as well as cognitive and behaviorally based strategies, all used with the intent of increasing clarity, coping skills, and emotional balance. Danis emphasizes collaborative planning so clients feel heard and involved in shaping goals and next steps.

Based in Pennsylvania, he offers flexible online session formats and guides people through the early steps of starting therapy with practical support. His approach centers on meeting clients where they are and supporting sustainable change through thoughtful, individualized care.

Approach-driven care for online therapy

Danis draws on Internal Family Systems to help people understand and compassionately relate to the different parts of themselves, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-based action and flexible response to difficult thoughts and feelings. He also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy when relationship patterns and early bonds are central to a person's concerns, offering ways to explore connection and repair in relational life.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions, then adjusts methods as needed so treatment aligns with each person's priorities and practical needs.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow people to engage from home or on the go, choose the communication style that fits their comfort level, and maintain consistency even when schedules change.
