About Danis
Danis Okang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, family issues, and low self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and he works with a range of mood and trauma-related concerns such as panic attacks and post-traumatic stress.
Danis uses approaches grounded in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioral methods. In practice he focuses on how emotions and patterns of relating affect daily life. He offers straightforward conversation and practical skills so clients can better understand strong feelings and recurring reactions.
Clients can expect a counselor-centered style that values clear communication. Danis draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas to help people notice values, build workable habits, and make choices that match what matters to them. He also uses CBT techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
He has worked with issues around abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, and control or impulsivity. Other areas he addresses include body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and life-purpose concerns. Danis also helps people navigate divorce and separation challenges.
Sessions aim to combine discussion about feelings with concrete steps to change patterns. The focus is on identifying what gets in the way of better relationships and steadier mood, then practicing alternative ways of responding. He asks clients to set goals and checks progress as therapy continues.
How Danis uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas in remote sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and working with feelings so people can change recurring patterns in relationships and daily life. EFT helps when strong emotions are hard to identify or when familiar responses keep repeating.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It uses mindfulness and behavior change strategies to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and reactions. It helps people notice attachment dynamics and try new ways of relating to ease tension and improve communication.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Danis will talk with each person about their goals, try out methods that fit, and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to one single model.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and allowing work during a lunch break or between obligations. It also lets therapists and clients continue steady weekly work even when schedules are tight. Ask about the session formats available when you begin the sign-up process.
