Daniel Gummo

On Love in the Real World, relationship coach and Relate’s practice manager Daniel Gummo begins every episode by looking at problems experienced by real couples. By centering on the concerns of real couples, conversations stay practical and vibrant. Together, we dive into core relationship themes—communication breakdowns, trust struggles, intimacy gaps—using active listening and mindfulness to unpack how you really feel. Drawing on 15+ years in community mental health, family therapy and helping couples, I share tools to help you navigate conflict, set boundaries, and deepen connection. I believe every couple can reshape their story. With a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and specialized training at the Existential Humanistic Institute, I’m here to help you build healthier, more authentic relationships—right here in the real world.
