Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
Young children treatment interventions very often involve parents and caretakers at some point. Disruptive Behavior Problems are most prevalent, specifically Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD), however fear, anxiety social issues also rank highly. In my practice, I use behavior therapy (parent management training), both individual and group cognitive behavioral therapy as well as multisystemic therapy. MST is goal-oriented and focuses on helping the caregivers manage and nurture their challenging children more effectively. As your child's therapist I become intimately involved in every aspect of their life and social network including peers, school and family.

Lakeland is a central Florida city between Tampa and Orlando in Polk County, home to Florida Southern College—notable for its large collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture—and serving as a significant logistics and distribution hub where Amazon, Publix, and other large employers have major operations, with a mental health landscape shaped by the economic pressures of both industrial work and rapidly rising costs of living in Florida's growing central corridor. The city has a diverse population with significant Black and Latino communities, and Lakeland Regional Health's behavioral health programs serve the community alongside a private therapy sector. The area's geography between two major metro areas means residents can access the larger therapy markets of Tampa and Orlando for more specialist care. Common therapy concerns include economic and workplace stress in a logistics and distribution economy, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, and the mental health challenges of a rapidly growing central Florida city where housing costs are outpacing wages for many working residents.
