Dr. Dan Moen

Dr. Dan Moen is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Minnesota. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship struggles. He also supports those dealing with addiction, challenges around intimacy, sleep problems, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.

He keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate. He listens first, then helps clients name the patterns that cause pain. From there he works with people to try different skills and approaches that fit their life and goals.

Dr. Moen uses methods grounded in research and shaped by practical experience. He draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work to help people process difficult memories, manage strong emotions, and change unhelpful habits.

Over six years of practice have included work with people facing addiction, midlife transitions, caregiving stress, and complex family issues. He aims to help clients build clearer boundaries, better communication, and more reliable coping strategies.

People who see him can expect a collaborative approach. Goals are set together, progress is reviewed regularly, and techniques are adjusted when something isn’t helping. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session based on the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful memories and the feelings that come with them. In practice this often means carefully paced conversations and exercises that reduce distress and help people regain a sense of control over memories.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most and building small actions toward those values. It helps when worries or avoidance get in the way of the life someone wants to lead.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and reactions. It can be useful for improving communication, setting boundaries, and understanding emotional triggers.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach first and adjusting based on how things are going.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and offer a way to check in during workday breaks or evening hours. Because specific session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm the available options before booking. The focus will be on practical strategies and steady progress that fit everyday routines.
