Daniele DeOliveira, LCSW

Daniele DeOliveira is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a gentle, direct style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese and brings 18 years of experience to conversations about relationship strain, grief, and identity concerns. Daniele aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward for people worried about taking the first step.

Her work combines practical strategies with open listening. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to help ground difficult feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of her approach when people want to clarify values and take small steps toward what matters to them.

Daniele also addresses family-related challenges, adoption and foster care questions, and blended family issues. She helps people cope with life changes, loneliness, guilt, and self-esteem concerns. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among her additional focus areas and may be included in sessions when relevant.

She frames sessions as a collaborative effort, shaping the conversation around each person’s needs and goals. Expect straightforward talk, concrete tools you can use between meetings, and attention to cultural or language needs that affect daily life.

Daniele holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, with registrations in Florida and New Jersey. She works with immigration-related stress and LGBT concerns as part of a broader practice that centers respect and sensitivity.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small, workable steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and when someone wants a values-based plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it often includes homework and skill practice to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and builds a respectful, nonjudgmental space where feelings and choices guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, and allow brief check-ins when life is hectic. It can also support continued work when people relocate or travel internationally, but confirm timing and appointment format when you schedule.
