About Danny
Danny El Hassan is an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - practicing in New York with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, codependency, and concerns linked to identity or sexual culture. He also supports people facing addiction, grief, sleep problems, and changes in life or career.
Danny uses straightforward, talk-based work that draws on several approaches. Sessions often focus on understanding patterns that come from the past and how they show up now. He uses cognitive techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness practices to help with stress and attention.
He has worked with older adults and has written for the Journal of Homosexuality about LGBT elders. Danny has also researched micro-aggressions experienced by people with disabilities. That background informs how he addresses power, identity, and stigma in sessions.
In practice he offers both shorter-term and longer-term therapy depending on what a person needs. He pays attention to underlying feelings and unconscious patterns while also using practical steps to manage symptoms. Sessions may include talking, practical behavior experiments, and mindfulness exercises.
Danny has experience as a phone counselor and in tele-health settings and notes the practical benefits these formats can offer. He describes his work as collaborative and focused on helping people notice their patterns, strengthen boundaries, and reclaim parts of themselves they may have set aside.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. In practice this means sessions focus on the person's concerns, feelings, and goals while the therapist follows and reflects what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior; it uses brief exercises and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking, and improve sleep or focus. Existential Therapy invites people to examine meaning, choice, and responsibility when life feels stuck or empty, which can help with major life changes or questions about identity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and pick what fits the client's goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as progress unfolds.
The biography notes prior tele-health and phone counseling experience, and Danny has pointed out practical benefits such as easier access and convenience. Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats he is offering now. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can get help without rearranging their schedule.
