Bio: Dan Ludwig LCSW ACSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a certified teacher in St. Louis, MO with over 35 years of experience. The bulk of my employment has involved combining counseling/therapy and education with primarily disadvantaged youth and young adults. The classroom is an ideal setting to explore obstacles to growth and problem solve new choices and paths.
In my practice, my main approach involves Reality Therapy/Control Theory (Dr. Bill Glasser), which is closely related to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I found this form of therapy to be very successful and easy to understand. I believe people can change their behavior when they change their thoughts.
I am a life long endurance runner/triathlete (two – Hawaiian Ironman finishes) and an avid outdoorsman. I know what the power of exercise, experiential education games, outdoor activities, and fresh air can have in on a person and his/her outlook on life. I believe in setting goals for yourself, no matter how small, and going for it!
I am impressed that you are taking time to select a therapist as it demonstrates that you are beginning your journey to self-improvement.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Danny Ludwig. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I've only had two 30 minute sessions with Dan. During the sessions he had a healthy balance of listening and adding advice. He does not seem confined to his modality of therapy. He comes across as wanting to help, and I do think that he is helping me. Good work Dan.
