Daniel Laluna, IL Psychologist 071009488

Daniel Laluna is a licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois. He brings 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD. He works with individuals across the lifespan and draws on methods suited to each person's needs.

He received a Doctor of Psychology, PsyD, with a concentration in child and adolescent mental health from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. He also earned a BA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His training and background shape a practical, day-to-day approach to problems people bring to therapy.

Attachment and relationships are a central focus in his work. He pays attention to how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. That emphasis often guides conversations about stress, self-worth, and patterns that repeat over time.

He uses a mix of techniques that fit the person in front of him. For younger clients he integrates play-based and expressive-art methods to help children show what they feel. For older teens and adults he uses insight-oriented work to talk through patterns and make changes.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can try between meetings. The overall aim is to reduce day-to-day distress and help people build better habits in relationships, sleep, and self-care.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy fit

Daniel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are aimed at real-life problems. One approach focuses on attachment and relationships by looking at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior; this helps with issues like anxiety, self-esteem, and recurring relationship patterns. Another approach he uses is expressive and play-based work, particularly helpful for younger clients or anyone who expresses themselves better through activity than conversation; it supports processing grief, stress, and behavior concerns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's age and preferences, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most useful and practical for daily life.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, reduced travel time, and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. Because the biography does not list which session formats are offered, confirm current session options before booking. This helps ensure session length, timing, and any technical needs match personal preferences while keeping focus on making steady progress.
