Getting to know Daniel Hunt
Daniel (he/him) is a licensed mental health counselor in New York educated at The New School for Social Research and John Jay College. Daniel offers in-person and virtual sessions to individuals, couples and families.
Daniel began his career as a researcher, studying psychopathology and cognitive psychology in a lab setting. During his practicum placement, Daniel began working with individuals on Riker’s Island. It was during this internship that Daniel realized his true passion lay in working directly with clients, and shifted to a clinical focus going forward.
In the following years, Daniel worked with incarcerated individuals full time, treating those with severe mental illnesses as they prepared to re-enter the community. Though he no longer works with a forensic population, the experience formed a robust clinical foundation that drives his work to this day. His forensic background, combined with his research experience has allowed Daniel to come at issues in a manner that is rooted in both empirically supported research and robust first-hand clinical experience.
Daniel values compassion, rapport, and honesty above all else in order to create a comfortable space, free from judgement, where you are safe to learn and grow. He works primarily in a non-pathologizing, culturally competent framework, focusing on the lived experience and the emotions that arise in both the tumultuous and quiet moments of our lives. He draws from numerous modalities and therapeutic styles to find the techniques are most effective for you.
Daniel has experience working with clients of myriad ages, races, ethnicities, gender identities, and presenting issues, allowing him to accommodate the needs of any client ready to step into the therapy space. Whether you’ve gone to therapy in the past or you’re starting for the first time, Daniel is ready to take those next steps with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
My style is somewhat centered around the ideas of talk therapy; I like to have sessions be somewhat conversational and focus on either the client's present lived experience or past experiences that may be impacting their life currently. That said, I draw from more structured approaches like CBT, DBT and IFS if clients need more guidance or concrete strategies. I've also found a lot of success in bringing in attachment theory and psychodynamic theory as unpack past experiences (especially early ones) can help shed light on, and de-mystify some client behaviors and coping mechanisms. That said, research shows that rapport predicts the most positive therapeutic outcomes for clients, so this is what I prioritize in my work. I definitely believe in being direct and not shying away from topics while still maintain a gentle, compassionate approach that doesn't overwhelm the client. I’m definitely a believer in taking your time and not rushing clients to the fastest or most optimized solution to their problem, but instead taking your time to build rapport, create a comfortable trusting space, and only push the boundaries when it feels the time is right.
