Danielle Carrasquillo, LCSW

Danielle Carrasquillo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twelve years of experience. She practiced in Florida for many years before relocating to New York. Danielle draws on a mix of clinical roles from hospice and oncology social work to broader mental health practice. She now works in private practice offering remote therapy options.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She aims to make sessions relaxed while remaining focused and practical. Danielle listens closely, gives direct feedback, and teaches concrete skills people can use between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches she uses to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Danielle helps people address a wide variety of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, eating and body image concerns, and life transitions. She also supports people facing caregiving stress, cancer survivorship concerns, and problems tied to family of origin or blended family situations.

Her background in hospice and oncology social work shaped how she responds to loss and serious illness. That work added experience in supporting caregivers and those facing big life changes. Danielle pairs that background with practical tools and mindfulness exercises when useful.

Sessions focus on collaboration. Danielle works with each person to set clear goals and to build skills they can use daily. She blends attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to help people better understand patterns and find more workable ways of relating and coping.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Danielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often involves simple exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that translate well to remote sessions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early patterns shape current relationships. That approach helps people understand relationship habits and try new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her work, offering empathetic listening and support so people can explore goals at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques over time so they match each person's needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat lets someone check in during a busy day, and text-based messaging supports short updates or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
