Danielle Deramo, LMHC

Danielle Deramo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 11 years of clinical experience, including more than five years specializing in eating disorder treatment. She has supported people facing a range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career transitions, and the effects of physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her therapeutic approach is warm and gentle, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and she builds individualized treatment plans that reflect each client’s goals and circumstances. Rather than following a single protocol, she tailors interventions to match the unique needs of the person in front of her.

Seeking professional help is a courageous step, and Danielle aims to encourage and empower people as they work toward meaningful change. She focuses on practical skills and compassionate support to help clients navigate challenges and move toward their priorities, and she welcomes prospective clients who are ready to begin that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop practical steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is often used to address anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for concerns such as depression, anxiety, and eating-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be helpful for mood instability and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Danielle Deramo collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Licensed professionals often combine techniques to create a personalized path forward.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and access consistent support from a therapist in New York. For many people, remote sessions provide a manageable way to engage in regular therapy while balancing other commitments.
