OUR TEAM

ABOUT DR. DANIEL FLINT, PH.D.

Dr. Flint is a licensed clinical psychologist providing telehealth services in Colorado (license number PSY.0006290). He specializes in working with children, teens, and young adults using an empathetic, relatable, and humorous approach. Specifically, Dr. Flint specializes in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and exposure with response prevention (ERP), the most strongly research-supported intervention for anxiety spectrum disorders. But, he is very mindful of the fact that the most important factors for therapeutic progress are empathy, genuineness, and an unconditional positive regard for one’s patient. 

 

Dr. Flint is an assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine and works as a pediatric psychologist at Texas Children’s Hospital. Clinically, he focuses on anxiety spectrum and behavioral disorders of childhood and adolescence but he has been trained to provide ACT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and interpersonal therapy (IPT) for a range of disorders among children, teens, and young adults. He is passionate about making sure therapy works – for you – and you will notice this in practice from session one. His goal is to make sure you feel like the driver on your own road to a value-centered life. 

As a patient, or parent of a patient, you will experience: a sense of comfort and safety to speak openly, a shared sense of optimism guided by high-quality data-driven decision making, and a clarity about measurable treatment goals. If the patient is a child or adolescent, rest assured that you will be held in highest regard in terms of therapeutic progress. I will provide frequent updates and will be transparent about communication.
