About Danielle

Danielle Deramo is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and money and financial issues. She also supports people coping with eating concerns, trauma or abuse, addictions, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and major life changes. Danielle presents a calm and empathetic presence in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her style is warm and respectful. She listens without judgment and works with each person to set clear goals. Treatment plans are shaped around what the individual wants to change, not a fixed protocol.

Danielle draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to build tools for thinking and behavior. She also uses attachment-focused ideas to address patterns in close relationships. The methods she picks depend on the problem and the person’s preferences.

Clients can expect straightforward skill building, emotion regulation techniques, and guided reflection on patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions emphasize small, doable steps toward change and concrete strategies for coping between appointments.

With eleven years of clinical experience and the credential LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - Danielle combines practical strategies and compassionate support. She encourages people to take the first step and helps them create a plan that fits their life.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns learned early in life and how they affect current closeness and trust; it can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors the plan over time and checks in to make sure the work feels useful and manageable.

The practical advantage of working online is that therapy can fit into busy schedules. Confirm the current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to arrange appointments around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between meetings to practice skills.
