Mitchell Daas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with ten years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. He practices in Minnesota and offers therapy that aims to help people move toward a life they value. Mitchell uses a direct but compassionate approach to guide clients through change. Mitchell blends practical skills with acceptance-based work. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the client, learning new coping strategies, and making steady changes. He uses clear tools drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and skills training to reduce distress and build stronger routines. He also pays attention to attachment patterns and emotion-focused work to strengthen relationships and intimacy. That can include exploring how past hurt affects current connections and learning ways to communicate needs more clearly. Mitchell helps clients face grief, burnout, and compassion fatigue while building ways to recover energy. People turn to him for help with attention challenges, addictive behaviors, sleep and eating problems, and career stress. He supports those navigating identity and LGBT concerns and those coping with major life transitions or chronic health issues. Sessions move at the client’s pace and combine skills practice with reflective conversation. Mitchell welcomes international clients and works through video calls, phone sessions, chat, and text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment based on availability. Background and approach notes: Mitchell favors a collaborative style rooted in mindfulness, behavior change, and emotional understanding. He balances acceptance and direction so clients can pursue meaningful goals while learning concrete ways to manage symptoms.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, get clear about values, and take small steps toward a life they want. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaching concrete strategies to change them, which helps with anxiety, mood, and sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, helping people improve intimacy and communication. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mitchell will talk with clients about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those aims. The process is collaborative: approaches can be combined or adjusted as progress is tracked and needs shift. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats help people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage ongoing symptoms, and practice skills between sessions.
