I nickled-and-dimed a client on change requests, alienating that client and making myself appear less professional.

One of the many advantages of charging a daily instead of hourly rate is that you avoid this kind of nickel & dime haggling with clients that nobody enjoys. If you batch up change requests into day-sized chunks and you've both agreed on the daily rate then it's a non-issue. It's just important to make sure that you and the client are in sync about the number of days spent.
