Danielle Mascarelli, LMHC

Danielle Mascarelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who brings six years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She combines warmth and practical guidance to help individuals untangle relationship conflict, process past trauma, and move toward clearer goals and greater emotional balance. Danielle has supported people managing mood disorders, panic attacks, PTSD, workplace challenges, and concerns around body image, attachment, and self-love, drawing on a range of approaches to meet each person where they are.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and skill building - clients work with Danielle to identify manageable steps, build coping strategies, and develop tools for both immediate relief and longer-term change. She also addresses issues such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, money and financial stress, communication problems, and questions of life purpose. Danielle aims to create a respectful environment in which people can explore control issues, social anxiety, and the aftereffects of substance use without pressure.

As an LMHC - a credential that denotes a licensed mental health counselor - Danielle offers focused, evidence-informed care with a goal of helping clients clarify their direction and access practical resources. Prospective clients who are ready to begin can expect a compassionate, goal-oriented partnership focused on real-world progress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Danielle integrates client-centered therapy into her online practice by focusing on each person’s unique experience and supporting them with empathy and respect. This approach helps clients explore their values, clarify goals, and feel heard as they navigate stress, relationship concerns, or life changes.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related symptoms. CBT offers tools for shifting reactions and building new habits that reduce distress.

Mindfulness therapy is another element of her work, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with cravings, intrusive thoughts, or overwhelming emotion. These exercises are often brief and well suited to remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Danielle collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time rather than prescribing a single solution up front.

Online therapy with Danielle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Working with licensed professionals remotely can make it easier to fit regular care into a busy life while maintaining continuity of support.
