Danielle Mascarelli, LMHC

Danielle Mascarelli is a licensed mental health counselor who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She emphasizes clear, doable steps so clients can feel steadier and more in control of day-to-day life.

Danielle draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered work to address depression, panic, addictions, and low self-esteem. Sessions focus on habits, thoughts, and small behavior changes that make a real difference. She also helps people cope with life changes and workplace strain.

With six years of experience, Danielle has supported people dealing with trauma, mood concerns, and recurring worry. She offers space to talk through painful events and to build practical skills for managing symptoms like panic attacks and social anxiety.

Her approach is straightforward and warm. Danielle listens first, then collaborates on goals and steps to reach them. Treatment can include short skill-building exercises, motivational conversations about change, and techniques to increase self-compassion.

Danielle works with adults from her New York practice and conducts sessions using video, phone, chat, or messaging. She encourages clients to start with a simple goal and take progress one step at a time. If you want a practical, collaborative approach to feeling better, she can help you map the way forward.

Practical approaches you can use online

Danielle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep symptoms like anxiety and depression going. CBT often involves setting small goals, testing new behaviors, and tracking progress over time.

She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize active listening and the client's own goals, helping people feel heard and shaping the work around what matters most to them. Mindfulness practices are offered as simple, in-the-moment exercises to reduce stress and improve attention to present experience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Danielle will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and daily routines and then adapt strategies that fit their needs. This collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skill practice, motivational conversation, or self-reflection techniques.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is suited to fuller therapeutic work including exercises and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer quick check-ins, brief coping strategies, and support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
