About Dan
Dr. Dan Moen is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage anxiety, depression, phobias, and stress. He also supports those facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, sleep trouble, and big life changes.
Dr. Moen works in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English. He keeps the room straightforward and compassionate.
Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps feel doable. He listens for patterns in relationships, coping habits, and how past losses or trauma affect daily life.
Background and approach
Dr. Moen blends several approaches to match each person's needs. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take meaningful action even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations and current connections. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and improving communication when feelings run high.
With six years of clinical experience, Dr. Moen focuses on clear goals and practical skills. Sessions may include in-the-moment coaching, behavioral experiments, and short exercises to practice between meetings.
He guides people toward steadier routines, better boundaries, and clearer decisions. Parents reading on a phone will find brief, plain guidance during talks. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
If a parent is worried about a specific phobia, fear, or relationship stress, Dr. Moen helps break the problem into manageable steps and supports follow-through.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps clarify what matters most and encourages small steps toward those values even when emotions are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to pick or blend methods based on goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process means plans are adjusted over time to match real progress and changing needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video calls let you work face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, written tracking of goals, and quick skills coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to maintain regular work on anxiety, phobias, relationship problems, or recovery tasks without long commutes.
