About Daniel

Daniel Twyman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 12 years of experience. He works with adults facing relationship challenges, family and parenting stress, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues like ADHD and compassion fatigue. Daniel also lists blended family issues among his focus areas.

His style is conversational and interactive. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. He uses clear techniques from cognitive-behavioral and attachment-informed approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning.

Daniel draws on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. He includes mindfulness practices to support present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help clarifying goals and staying motivated for change.

He emphasizes respect and direct feedback rather than labels. People can expect a collaborative plan with concrete steps and check-ins on progress. Daniel also attends to issues often tied to family history, such as abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care experiences.

Practical matters like work stress, money worries, and parenting logistics are part of the conversation. He also addresses relationship topics including jealousy, intimacy-related problems, divorce and separation adjustments, and navigating loyalty conflicts in blended households. The aim is to make therapy feel relevant to everyday life and workable between sessions.

How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using attachment-informed ideas help identify trust and closeness patterns and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online meetings, CBT is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and tolerating distress; it is useful when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of relationships. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative effort where approaches are adjusted based on what is helpful. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - shorter check-ins during a lunch break, audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited, or video sessions for face-to-face conversation. The practical benefits include fewer trips to an office and more flexibility to schedule sessions around work and parenting responsibilities.
