About Mitchell

Mitchell Daas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

Mitchell brings a calm, direct style and a practical focus to sessions. He combines approaches that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and build skills for daily life.

Mitchell uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered listening. This mix supports people dealing with grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused. Mitchell helps clients set clear, realistic steps and practices to try between meetings.

He also attends to emotional safety and grounding when trauma or dissociation is present. Mitchell works with concerns such as intimacy-related issues, body image, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, career transitions, chronic illness and caregiver strain.

He also addresses issues related to abandonment, attachment, and communication problems. People who reach out can expect straightforward feedback, concrete tools, and room to reflect on values and choices.

The aim is to help clients move toward a life they find meaningful, one step at a time.

Approaches that fit online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, committed actions toward them while learning to notice unhelpful thoughts. It works well for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current reactions and needs; it can be useful for intimacy and communication difficulties. The Gottman Method offers tools for improving communication and conflict management within relationships and can be used to practice new skills and conversations online. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest methods that match your needs. Together you can try different strategies and adjust the plan if something does not fit. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow real-time interaction and visual cues for skills practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get brief support, track progress, or follow up between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping the focus on useful, hands-on work.
