Getting to know Daniel Hayes

*telehealth sessions are offered via video or phone* Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me. As a therapist (LCSW), I bring a lived understanding into the room. My approach is calm, steady, and relational, grounded in the belief that healing happens through a strong therapeutic relationship, clear goals, and shared commitment to the work. I work with adults across the lifespan, supporting concerns such as grief and loss (including disenfranchised and complicated grief), sexual orientation and gender identity exploration, caregiver stress and burnout, life transitions, anxiety and depression, family estrangement, chronic and terminal illness, dementia support, and end-of-life planning.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I identify as a neurospicy queer person and was raised by a combat veteran with PTSD. These experiences, alongside my training, inform a compassionate, grounded approach that honors complexity while remaining hopeful. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing means learning to become your own best friend. Liberation is a personal journey.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Wherever you are on your journey, the good news is that there is always room for growth, healing, and deeper self-understanding. I currently offer telehealth sessions on weekday mornings and afternoons, as well as weekend mornings.
