About me
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I received my Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from Barry University. I have been a counselor for the past 13 years and have developed expertise in many areas known as "geek therapy" as well as holding several certifications for the treatment of process addictions (gambling, video games, etc.). Other issues I routinely treat include relationship issues, task management / motivation / procrastination, academic struggles, and many sources of anxiety or depression people face in the regular flow of daily living. I am also a psychology researcher specializing in video game topics and have contributed multiple publications on player types during gameplay, insights for online education, and many other clinical topics if you are interested in knowing about my other work in the field of counseling. I provide counseling services for Individual, Couples, & Families, and am excited to work with all ranges of age from adolescent to older adult groups.
I am a graduate school professor, so in most cases my approach can be tailored to the needs of my individual client. I have spent many years developing my ability to manage client conversations through the lenses of Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused / Brief, Mindfulness / Acceptance-Commitment, Existential / Person-Centered, and also Narrative therapies. My approach and treatment plans are always chosen based on the needs of the client I am talking to in those moments, so your goals will always be your own when you are working with me. We will work at your pace and decide together what the best path is for your specific journey.
I am excited to meet you and provide the support you are looking for to continue your life's journey!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Daniel Kaufmann. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
This is my third time attempting therapy and both of the other times it was a waist of time and money. Dr. Kaufmann has been great and has helped me during this major transition in my life.

Dr.K is a fantastic counselor! He is very flexible with styles of counseling and adjusts to what you need. He has a plethora of experience and tools to give his clients. He did a fabulous job creating a safe place to talk through personal struggles and concerns, while learning how to work through them with him. Working with him was a wonderful experience.

Dr. Kaufman has been extremely helpful so far. Dr. Kaufman has helped me to work through my own issues to find solutions of my own. Dr. Kaufman has helped me resolve every concern I've presented to him so far. I've worked with many counselors and psychologists. Dr. Kaufman is by far the best counseling experience I've ever had!
