Danielle Deramo, LMHC

Danielle Deramo is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, addictions, trauma, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those managing bipolar symptoms, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and life transitions. Danielle brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work.

Her style is described as gentle and warm. She aims to listen carefully and respond with respect and sensitivity. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than abstract labels.

Danielle draws from several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). She tailors each plan to the person’s goals and situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

She also uses attachment-based and client-centered techniques to help people understand patterns in relationships and build on their strengths. That can mean learning new communication habits, managing strong emotions, or changing unhelpful routines.

Danielle has a background treating people with eating disorders and those impacted by physical or emotional trauma. Over more than a decade she has worked with varied concerns and combines practical skills with emotional support. Her aim is to encourage and empower people as they make changes.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions are offered in English and Danielle does not accept international clients.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with strong emotions, anger, and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Danielle treats this as a collaborative process, asking about current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and client try methods, adjust as needed, and pick the mix that fits the person’s needs and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can make shorter check-ins and follow-ups simpler and reduce travel time. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking to know how sessions are conducted. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach skills, practice new communication habits, and support changes between meetings without promising specific outcomes.
