About Daniel
Daniel Echols, LPC, offers a calm place to talk when life feels heavy. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief. He also supports those struggling with parenting, self-esteem, career questions, and relationship or family concerns.
Daniel prefers a conversational, person-centered style. He listens for the stories people tell about themselves and helps them notice patterns that no longer serve them. Sessions focus on practical steps and new ways of relating to feelings and choices.
Background and approach
He brings an open spiritual perspective when it feels relevant to a person. His approach draws on Narrative therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-focused thinking, and cognitive behavioral ideas. That mix is used to help people sort out values, cope with life changes, and build manageable habits.
He frames work around clear goals and everyday practices rather than abstract theory. Sessions are friendly and direct. Daniel encourages honest talk about what matters most and what gets in the way.
He uses questions, reflection, and simple exercises people can try between appointments. Daniel has worked as a licensed professional counselor in Texas for 23 years. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Daniel directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Narrative Therapy pays attention to the stories people live by and offers ways to reframe or rewrite those stories so they feel less stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relating patterns show up now and helps people build different ways of connecting and trusting others.Finding the right approach is part of the work he does with each person. He will ask about your goals, preferences, and daily life, then suggest experiments or practices to try. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing coaching easier to fit into busy days. These options can help people maintain momentum between appointments and access a therapist from wherever they are in Texas.
