Dan Blair

When someone finally decides to pick up the phone, Dan Blair wants them to feel they made the right call. Whether a person is carrying years of unaddressed anxiety, a marriage that has quietly unraveled, or an addiction that has taken hold in ways they still struggle to name, Dan meets them where they are — with directness, humor where it fits, and a genuine stake in the outcome. That combination of honesty and warmth is deliberate; he believes people do better work in counseling when they actually look forward to coming back.

Dan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist based in Crystal Lake, Illinois, and he works with individuals, couples, and families navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, anger, and grief. He is also a court-approved divorce mediator and Nationally Certified Parenting Coordinator — credentials rooted in three decades of social service work ranging from foster care and group home consultation to clinical directorship. For couples, this can mean working through the slow erosion that happens when two people sit across from each other at dinner but neither one is quite there. Online sessions are available.
