Daniel Gildner
Founder / Clinical Director
Daniel Gildner is a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children and young adults, ranging from 18 months to 21 years old. In 2023, Daniel and his wife, Sophia, founded Future Focused Therapies to provide high-quality ABA services in both in-home and clinic-based settings.
Daniel began his career in 2017 as a Behavior Technician, where he quickly found his passion for helping others achieve meaningful outcomes. During his time as a technician, Daniel worked with a diverse range of learners, and he found particular pride in supporting clients who presented with high rates of problem behavior. This experience shaped his clinical philosophy-that everyone deserves access to high-quality services to improve their lives, regardless of the challenges they face.
Daniel earned his master’s degree from Oakland University in 2019 and completed his graduate training in ABA at the Florida Institute of Technology in 2021. He has been a practicing BCBA since 2021. Along with his clinical work, Daniel is also passionate about psychology research and has authored several peer-reviewed journal articles.
Outside of work, Daniel enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. A Lapeer, Michigan native, he is an passionate fan of the Detroit Lions, Pistons, Red Wings, and Tigers.
