About Daniel

Daniel Garcia Higuera is an NCPS counsellor who offers therapy in English and Spanish. He trained in psychology and several master’s programmes, and has worked in clinical settings since early 2019. He aims to make sessions straightforward and practical, helping people who are anxious, stressed, struggling with addiction or facing big life changes.

He draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Sessions often focus on clearer thinking, noticing patterns that cause pain, and practising small, doable changes between meetings. He also uses mindfulness and emotion management tools where helpful.

His background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and multiple master’s level studies in clinical psychology and related fields. Over six years of professional experience have included work with people facing depression, eating and sleep problems, grief, and long-term illness. The biography notes experience with emotional dependence and communication difficulties.

People who come to him can expect a calm, direct style and work that balances practical steps with space to talk. He supports those exploring identity and LGBT concerns, codependency and attachment-related pain. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to suit bilingual clients.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist’s availability and the platform’s processes.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still move towards what matters to them. It uses mindfulness and values-based actions to reduce the struggle with feelings and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationships between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques for shifting unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and how they shape relationships and self-understanding, supporting people to identify and work with core feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant to the person’s needs.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The profile does not list specific formats, so check whether video, audio or messaging options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people access an English- or Spanish-speaking counsellor without travelling long distances.
