Danielle Carrasquillo, LCSW

Danielle Carrasquillo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience. She trained at the University of Central Florida for her Master of Social Work and also holds a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education. Danielle has lived and worked in several states and now practices in New York, bringing both professional and life experience to her work.

Her background includes service in the US Army, time as a military spouse, hospice social work, and oncology social work. Those roles shaped her ability to sit with difficult feelings and offer practical support. Danielle says those experiences changed how she understands grief, survivorship, caregiving stress, and family dynamics.

In session she keeps the tone relaxed, direct, and warm. She listens closely, gives clear feedback, and offers hands-on tools people can try between meetings. She uses approaches like attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and everyday habits as well as relationship and life-stress concerns.

Danielle helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, body image and eating concerns, career stress, and questions around gender and identity. She also works with themes such as abandonment, codependency, blended family challenges, and family-of-origin issues.

People who prefer a practical, collaborative therapist may find her style fitting. She frames therapy as a team effort that balances empathy with concrete steps. To begin, prospective clients complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection, trust, and reactions in close relationships and is useful for intimacy and family-of-origin concerns. Client-centered therapy centers conversations on the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people find their own solutions, which can help with stress, self-esteem, and making life decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and daily habits, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns and change how people respond to triggers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow follow-up between appointments. Therapists can use the approaches above to practice skills, rehearse conversations, and track changes in everyday habits using remote sessions.
