About Danielle
Danielle DePalma is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of practice in New York. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and ADHD. She offers straightforward, respectful care and aims to make the first steps into therapy easier to take.
Danielle trained in psychology and social work and has built a long career helping people navigate major life changes. She draws on several practical approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and tools clients can use between meetings. Her style is warm and direct. She listens first, then helps people test small changes in thinking and behavior.
For relationship and intimacy concerns she uses ideas that focus on improving communication and understanding between partners. Danielle also brings skills for working through trauma and overwhelming memories. She uses structured techniques to reduce distress and rebuild a sense of safety in daily life.
Mindfulness and skills-based work are offered when helpful for emotion regulation. Therapy can be scheduled by completing a brief matching questionnaire and arranging sessions by availability. Danielle offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s goals and experience, so Danielle follows what matters to the client and adjusts the work to individual needs. This approach helps people feel heard and sets practical short-term goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools people can practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It is useful for managing strong emotions and improving communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Danielle will discuss options, try methods in session, and adapt the plan based on what helps meet a client’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
