About Dan
Dr. Dan Moen helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles.
Background and approach
He is a licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT - practicing in Minnesota and works to make therapy straightforward and useful. He keeps sessions centered on the person in front of him.
Conversations focus on what matters now and what small steps can make daily life easier. He listens for patterns that keep people stuck and looks for practical ways to change them.
Dr. Moen draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs.
He uses techniques that address thoughts and behaviors, emotional connection, and values-based action. Sessions often include skill-building, thought work, and chances to notice relationship patterns.
He has six years of clinical experience and has helped people cope with career changes, caregiver strain, intimacy concerns, and family origin issues. He also supports people dealing with sleep problems, compulsive behaviors, and compassion fatigue.
People can expect a calm, direct style that balances understanding with concrete tools. The work is collaborative - goals are set together and revisited as progress is made.
Dr. Moen aims to help people feel more capable of handling life’s challenges.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy and family of origin issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative - adjustments are made as progress and comfort with different techniques become clear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can use less bandwidth and fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skills practice, or when writing helps clarify thoughts.
These options make it easier to keep continuity between sessions and use skills in real life. He combines practical strategies from ACT and attachment-focused work with the convenience of remote formats to help people move toward clearer goals and better routines.
