Getting to know Daniel Kaplan

Hi there, I'm Daniel! I'm Daniel M. Kaplan, LMFT (license #31287), a licensed psychotherapist, consultant, and teacher. I have worked with people and their issues since 1986. Important influences in my life include Milton H. Erickson, MD; John Tarrant, Roshi; Shunryu Suzuki, Roshi; and others. I currently live in San Francisco, California. I grew up in the suburbs of New York City and have long been interested in both Eastern and Western methods of facilitating life transformation. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch College. In addition to being an approved ReTeaming Coach, I am extensively trained in Solution-Oriented Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Couples Therapy, and The Tools. I utilize what works for each individual client rather than fitting you into a preconceived category. I focus on helping people deepen their lives by learning to get out of their own ways through proven methodologies. I am licensed in California and a clinical member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. My approach I provide individual therapy using an eclectic, strategic, and solution-oriented approach with young adults and adults facing personal performance challenges, problems in living, relationship issues, work-related concerns, and other difficulties such as depression and life transitions. I foster examination of beliefs and conceptual frameworks, relational considerations, behavioral experiments, and life dynamics. I also focus on communication, as most communication is miscommunication. My focus People who see me for the first time are often overwhelmed, confused, depressed, or anxious. Some are unable to sleep, have distressing thoughts, or cannot control troublesome habits and behaviors. Others have struggled with chronic pain due to injuries or illnesses or have difficulties in intimate relationships, feeling defensive and unable to connect.
