About Danielle

Danielle Deramo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, eating issues, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related struggles, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar challenges, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Danielle uses several evidence-informed approaches to help people manage symptoms and set practical goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques. Sessions focus on clear skills, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between meetings.

In practice she listens for what matters most to each person and builds a plan from there. Conversations move between understanding how thoughts and behaviors interact and learning concrete tools for stress, sleep, and mood regulation. For relationship or attachment concerns she helps people identify patterns that affect closeness and communication.

Danielle has a background treating eating concerns and physical or emotional trauma, and she continues to work with a wide range of problems. She offers straightforward explanations of therapeutic options and helps people weigh what might fit their life and goals.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so Danielle can learn about immediate concerns and suggest next steps.

How certain approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values. It helps people accept difficult feelings while taking small actions that align with what matters to them, which can reduce avoidance and isolation in social situations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It gives concrete steps to test unhelpful beliefs, try new behaviors, and build confidence in speaking up or meeting new people.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help when anxiety or anger feels overwhelming in social settings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, needs, and how a person responds to early sessions. This is a shared process that can be adjusted over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone try strategies in real life between sessions and bring what happens back for troubleshooting with the therapist.
