Getting to know Daniel Pensler

Hi there, I'm Daniel! I am a social worker with several years of practice, holding a Master's in Social Work from San Jos? State University. My focus will always be on clients' goals and strengths. My approach I use reflective listening and motivational interviewing within a "stages of change" framework to address addiction and dual diagnosis issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy, Gestalt, and mindfulness-based practices are my go-to methods for managing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, communication challenges, and depression. My focus I work with adults facing addiction, dual diagnosis, depression, and/or anxiety. My communication style There is no substitute for listening and being a source of support. While feedback to clients is sometimes an option, most often the best response is a reflection of the clients' own words.
