About Daniel Marston, PhD, ABPP

Psychotherapy is not simply about changing how you think. It is about understanding how you want to live.

Dr. Daniel Marston is a licensed psychologist with over 30 years of experience in clinical psychology. His approach to psychotherapy is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, but goes beyond simply helping people change negative thoughts or manage symptoms. He believes that effective psychotherapy should help people better understand themselves, make meaningful decisions, and develop a personal philosophy that allows them to deal more effectively with life's challenges.

His approach emphasizes that psychological well-being involves more than learning to think rationally. It also involves understanding what matters to us, finding meaning and purpose in our lives, accepting uncertainty, and recognizing the choices and responsibilities that come with being human. He works with people experiencing anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, and other psychological challenges, helping them not only address their immediate difficulties but also develop a broader understanding of how they want to live their lives.

Dr. Marston is the author of several books on clinical psychology and writes the Comparatively Speaking blog for Psychology Today. His writing has also appeared several times in Psychology Today magazine. He also serves as a professor in a doctoral counseling program, where he teaches the application of psychological research to clinical practice. His clinical work and writing reflect his interest in bringing together scientific research, philosophical questions, and the practical realities of helping people deal with life's difficulties.

Dr. Marston is board certified in Behavioral and Cognitive Psychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) and is licensed as a psychologist in Pennsylvania and Ohio. He provides psychotherapy through video sessions and is also experienced in forensic psychology, having conducted psychological evaluations and served as an expert witness in multiple court jurisdictions. He is available for psychotherapy, forensic psychological evaluations, professional consultation, and writing and educational projects.
