Mitchell Daas, LPCC

Mitchell Daas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. He has ten years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other common life struggles. Mitchell emphasizes practical steps that fit into everyday life. He frames therapy around balancing acceptance and change. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small, sustainable shifts in thought and behavior. Mitchell uses straightforward tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches and mindfulness to reduce unhelpful patterns. Mitchell also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to help people manage intense emotions and improve coping skills. Attachment-based ideas inform his work when relationships and early life patterns come up. The therapist centers the person’s goals and adapts methods to fit their situation. Appointments often explore thoughts, everyday habits, and reactions that get in the way of daily functioning. Mitchell helps people set clear, reachable goals and practices new ways of responding between sessions. He aims to make therapy a practical part of the week rather than an abstract exercise. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence in sessions and a focus on moving toward a life they find meaningful. Mitchell encourages collaboration and keeps plans flexible as needs change. Reaching out for help is framed as a brave first step, and he offers steady support along the way.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. In practice this looks like setting meaningful goals, noticing thoughts without getting stuck, and trying concrete experiments between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable parts. Clients learn to test thoughts, change routine habits, and build new skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skill training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when old coping habits stop working. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mitchell will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts methods over time if something isn’t working. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life and can reduce travel time. It can also let people check in with shorter sessions or use audio instead of video when that suits them better. Because the biography does not list specific formats, confirm available session types before booking to be sure they fit practical needs and schedule constraints.
