About Danielle

Danielle Deramo is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues with eating and addictions. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life changes. Danielle brings 11 years of experience and a calm, warm approach to sessions.

Her style is gentle and respectful. She treats people with sensitivity and compassion while focusing on practical steps. Danielle centers sessions on each person’s goals and everyday habits, including thoughts that get in the way of daily functioning.

Danielle uses a mix of evidence-based methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and actions. She also weaves in dialectical behavior skills for managing emotion and attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships.

Treatment plans are individualized. Danielle builds interventions around what the person wants to change, and she checks in to adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Sessions often include concrete tools to try between meetings and reflections on small habit changes.

People seeking support are met without judgment. Danielle emphasizes collaboration, practical strategies, and steady encouragement to help people move through difficult moments and build routines that support daily life.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters to them. It focuses on small, committed actions that line up with personal values and can reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete tools to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, daily habits, and what feels most helpful. Together they figure out which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress happens, so the fit evolves over time.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, save commute time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows people to practice skills and revisit session notes in between meetings, which supports habit change and steady progress.
