About Daniel
Daniel MacCombie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New York with six years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, career shifts, and coaching goals. He also notes a focus on blended family issues and alternative-sex-culture topics.
Daniel uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people sort through practical problems. Sessions often cover communication patterns, managing overwhelming feelings, and handling role changes that come with blended households. He helps clients name problems and try small, workable changes between sessions.
He pays attention to family-of-origin patterns and how they show up in adult relationships. That can include dealing with loyalty conflicts, stepfamily boundary questions, or fatherhood concerns. He works with people exploring commitment issues and career or life-purpose decisions too.
Daniel describes his practice as secular and progressive. He aims to be nonjudgmental about different identities and relationship styles, including BDSM and kink communities. His approach is collaborative - he and the client set goals and check progress as they go.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People who want to try therapy are asked to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting to see how the work might fit practical life demands.
