About

Marriage and family therapist Daniel Myer operates through LifeStance Health in Grantville, San Diego, from the clinic at 6386 Alvarado Court, Suite 210. Myer holds California LMFT licensure and earned his Master's in Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2007, followed by more than 18 years of clinical work with children, families, and couples. His primary approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered techniques, and his medical conditions and health psychology training equips him to address the mental health dimensions of chronic illness — he coordinates with physical therapy providers such as San Diego Sports Medicine & Family Health Center in Grantville when clients present with pain-related anxiety or post-injury depression. Myer's clinical focus spans ADHD, anxiety, depression, couple's conflict, childhood behavioral issues, men's health psychology, midlife transitions, PTSD, school avoidance, and sleep disorders including insomnia, making him one of the broader-spectrum therapists in the 92120 corridor. He accepts clients from age 15 through 65-plus, and his adolescent caseload draws referrals from families near SDSU and throughout the Alvarado Canyon area. All sessions currently run through telehealth via the LifeStance patient portal. The practice is designated LGBTQ+ inclusive and maintains transgender safespace recognition at the Grantville location. Myer accepts Aetna, Anthem, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Magellan, MHN, Optum, Scripps Health Plan, and Sharp. His CBT framework targets the thought-behavior feedback loop that sustains insomnia and school avoidance cycles, and several of his treatment protocols run parallel to the acupuncture-based nervous system regulation offered at We Love Acupuncture on the same Grantville corridor. Myer's clinical philosophy emphasizes measurable behavioral change over open-ended talk therapy, tracking session-to-session progress against client-defined goals.
