About Danielle

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

Danielle uses straightforward talk therapy combined with practical tools. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She adapts familiar approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. The aim is to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

She pays attention to how attachment and early relationships shape what people expect from others. That can show up as trouble saying no, people-pleasing, or getting stuck in caretaking roles. Danielle works with individuals to name those patterns, test small changes, and practice new limits in everyday life.

In sessions she listens for practical steps a person can take between meetings. Those might include short behavioral experiments, breathing or grounding practices, and clearer communication scripts. Over time the work is about gaining more choice in how to respond rather than reacting the same way.

People who want a direct, skills-focused approach that also considers relationships may find this helpful. To begin she asks clients about current struggles and goals, then co-creates a plan that shifts over time as progress is made.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. That approach is useful when someone wants to stop reacting automatically and start making small value-based changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and uses clear steps to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current expectations and reactions. It can be helpful for people who find themselves repeating caretaking roles or struggling with intimacy.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals. If an approach isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan and tests alternatives alongside the client.

The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a phone option when bandwidth is limited. These practical conveniences can make it simpler to try new ways of responding between sessions and keep momentum with skills practice.
