Daniel D. Plunkett

Therapy for Anxiety, Identity & Life Transitions with Daniel Plunkett Real Connection. Real Change. Real You. Hey—I’m Daniel Plunkett, and I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and folks in the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities who are dealing with anxiety, identity challenges, grief, and those big life transitions that can throw everything off balance. My specialty? Meeting you exactly where you are—whether you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or just ready for something different—and helping you figure out your next move without judgment or pretense. This isn’t therapy where I just sit back and nod. I’m here with you—fully present, actively listening, and ready to help you sort through the mess so you can feel grounded, confident, and more in control of your own story. What You Can Expect in Session Think of our sessions like a mix of real talk, strategy, and breathing room. You bring your truth—whatever it looks like—and I bring curiosity, compassion, and practical tools you can actually use in real life. Some days, we’ll dig into the heavy stuff—grief that lingers, anxiety that’s running the show, or old beliefs that keep you stuck. Other days, we’ll focus on quick wins—simple, doable steps to make today feel a little lighter. And yes, there’s always space for humor, because therapy isn’t just about the hard stuff—it’s about the whole you. How I Work No cookie-cutter plans here. I blend different approaches so your therapy fits you: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – changing unhelpful thought patterns Narrative Therapy – rewriting your story in a way that empowers you Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) – working through difficult experiences safely Person-Centered Therapy – keeping you in control of the process Attachment-Based Therapy – exploring how relationships shape who you are We’ll also use mindfulness, journaling, and your go-to self-care tools—whether that’s music, reading, or even a little social media—because healing should connect to your real life. How I Help In our work, you might: Learn to manage anxiety so it’s not running your life Process grief and loss in a way that feels authentic to you Build self-esteem and own your identity with confidence Navigate life transitions without losing your footing Develop coping skills that work both now and in the long run My goal? Help you move from just “getting through” life to actually living it—on your own terms. What It’s Like to Work With Me Picture sitting with someone who’s genuinely curious about you, listens without judgment, and will keep it real when it matters. I see vulnerability as a strength, not something to hide. I’ll call out your progress—even when you can’t see it—and be upfront when there’s more work to do. Therapy with me is a partnership. You bring the lived experience, I bring the tools, and together we figure out what works. By the time you walk out (or log off), I want you feeling seen, supported, and more equipped to handle what’s next. Now accepting new clients—in-person and virtual.
