About Danielle

Danielle Deramo is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, eating concerns, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, and codependency. She provides a calm, compassionate presence and aims to make talking about hard things feel safer and more manageable. Danielle is based in New York and has eleven years of clinical experience as an LMHC.

Her sessions are warm and respectful. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, realistic goals. Danielle blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to match the needs of the person in front of her.

Danielle often helps people untangle patterns around attachment, abandonment, and intimacy. She supports those coping with grief, sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. She also addresses practical challenges like caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns.

In sessions she focuses on skills that reduce distress and on clearer thinking about choices and values. She uses behavioral strategies and emotion regulation tools alongside compassionate conversations about past hurts and current relationships.

Her approach is collaborative: treatment plans are made with each person’s goals in mind. Danielle encourages small, steady steps and offers concrete strategies people can use between sessions to cope and move forward.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on what matters to you and on small steps toward those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and situations where worry or avoidance get in the way of living well.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns people form in relationships and how those early patterns affect current bonds. This approach can be useful for intimacy-related struggles, abandonment concerns, and repair after emotional hurt.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process helps tailor whether more skills practice or more relational processing will be the focus.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, so appointments can fit into a lunch break or a workday. They also allow using worksheets, breathing exercises, and brief coaching between longer conversations. Speak with the therapist about what will fit your routine and goals.
