Getting to know Daniel Held
Hi there, I'm Daniel!
I'm Dan Held, a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio with over 30 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups to resolve painful issues of depression, anxiety, grief, traumatic memories, and relational conflicts.
My approach
Persona - Client-centered, Motivational interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
My focus
I typically start with a combination of Narrative and Dialectal Behavioral Therapies, focusing on updating one's life story to include the current page, paragraph, sentence, and words of description. Living in the present moment of here and now with one's body (which can only live in the present, not in the past or future) becomes the core value to affirm. Then I move more into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy aimed at teaching people two skills: (1) how to then visit the past and visit the future and challenge old assumptions from "there and then" that create depression and anxiety if not based on factual evidence, then restore (re-story) their lives so in their future they can become the best version of themselves.
My communication style
At age 77 myself, I am everybody's Grandpa or older (younger on rare occasions) neighbor who likes listening to life stories, understanding meaningful details, with lots of reflective listening to make sure I'm understanding correctly. I convey both unconditional positive regard, or non-judgmental acceptance, and a belief in everyone's ability to make his/her/their own best decisions if able to first gather enough correct information. It's all about improving my client's self-determination.
My journey to mental healthcare
Began graduate school for theology and went through a crisis of faith, became an agnostic, remained committed to "helping other people in their times of need" and changed my academic focus to Social Work.
