Getting to know Daniel Lopez
Welcome! I’m Daniel, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor with Zealous Therapy Licensed Clinical Social Worker PC. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with past experiences, facing unexpected change, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a supportive space to better understand what you're going through and begin moving forward.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 20 years serving the State of California, supporting adults and youth through some of the most difficult chapters of their lives. Along with my military service during Operation Iraqi Freedom, these experiences shaped my belief that people are not defined by their most difficult moments. Meaningful change is possible when you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment.
My approach is warm, practical, strength-based, and collaborative. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing within a trauma-informed, person-centered framework. Together, we can work on reducing anxiety and stress, processing difficult experiences, strengthening relationships, building confidence, and developing greater emotional resilience.
I also work with teens and families experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, behavioral challenges, and difficulties with confidence or self-worth.
All sessions are provided through secure telehealth and are accessible to clients throughout California.
Daniel practices as an associate clinician under the supervision of Erik J. Erickson, LCSW #108094, and is employed by Zealous Therapy Licensed Clinical Social Worker PC.
What should a new client know about working with you?
*Zealous Therapy does not provide medical paperwork, disability documentation, work or school excuse letters, court-related evaluations or reports, emotional support animal (ESA) letters, fitness-for-duty evaluations, workers' compensation documentation, or similar administrative or legal documentation. Requests for treatment records will be handled in accordance with applicable law. Court-ordered requests will be handled as required by law*
The first thing to know is that you set the pace. My job isn't to push you somewhere you're not ready to go it's to walk with you, ask the right questions, and help you build on strengths you may not even realize you have. Some sessions will feel productive and structured; others may just be a safe place to breathe and be honest. Both matter.
Second, I'm direct, but never judgmental. I've spent more than 20 years working with people in some of the hardest seasons of life, and I've learned that honesty delivered with compassion is what actually helps people grow. You can tell me anything chances are, it won't be something I haven't heard before.
Third, therapy with me is practical. We won't just talk about what's wrong; you'll leave sessions with real tools ways to manage anxiety, challenge unhelpful thoughts, communicate better, and handle what the week throws at you. I regularly check in on what's working and what isn't, and we adjust together.
Finally, as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I work under the supervision of a licensed clinician which means you get an added layer of oversight and two professionals invested in your progress. If you're a parent booking for your teen, know that I take building trust with young people seriously; therapy only works when they feel respected, not managed.
Starting therapy takes courage. Whenever you're ready, I'm here.
