About Dan

Dr. Dan Moen helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship troubles.

Background and approach

He works with concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sleep problems, and career or life changes. Dr.

Moen is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Minnesota with six years of clinical experience. He aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life.

In sessions he listens first and asks clear questions to understand what matters most to each person. He uses practical strategies from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and to build values-driven behavior.

He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. Dr.

Moen includes Gottman Method ideas when working on communication, trust, and repairing connection. His style is warm and direct; he balances validation with concrete steps clients can try between sessions.

That might mean short exercises, communication practices, or behavioral experiments tailored to daily routines. He also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, infidelity, and family-of-origin issues.

Therapy typically focuses on small, measurable changes that add up over time. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and better day-to-day functioning.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the Start Therapy button.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose meaningful actions anyway. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck by focusing on values and small committed steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and feelings. It can help when trust, intimacy, or repeated relationship patterns cause pain. The Gottman Method contributes practical tools for improving communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding connection in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust as progress is tracked. This means combining ideas from ACT, attachment work, and communication-focused techniques to match what the person needs most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different life demands. Video calls let the therapist see nonverbal cues and practice communication exercises in real time. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or being off camera helps someone focus. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or ongoing notes about what was practiced. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, handle shorter check-ins, or keep momentum between longer sessions.
