Danielle Deramo, LMHC

She also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and life transitions. Danielle writes plainly and meets people where they are without judgment.

Her style is warm and respectful. She aims to create a calm atmosphere so people can speak honestly about what’s hard. Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings, not only talk about feelings.

Danielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in ways shaped by each person’s goals. She builds a plan from the concerns someone brings and the skills they want to learn. Treatment is adjusted over time as needs change.

With 11 years of experience, Danielle combines focused skill-building with a supportive tone. She helps people practice new ways of thinking, tolerating strong feelings, and improving relationships. Her approach emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Danielle works in English and holds the license LMHC, with credentials in New York and Florida listed as NY LMHC and FL LMHC.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Danielle frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing them with real-life tasks to reduce anxiety and improve mood. ACT helps people notice values and commit to small actions that move them toward a meaningful life, even when feelings are hard.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how relationships shape patterns in how people connect and react. That approach helps with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and building steadier connections with others. Danielle treats these approaches as options to be tested and combined rather than fixed rules.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and then try techniques that match those aims. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what isn't, so clients remain active partners in choosing methods.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for quick check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter exchanges, ongoing coaching between sessions, or when writing feels clearer. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
