About Danielle

Danielle DePalma is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 22 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

She trained in psychology and social work and has spent more than two decades working with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD among other challenges. Her approach draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to address complex emotional and life issues.

Danielle emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in clinical work and customizes conversation and care to each person’s situation. She brings practical tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies alongside trauma-focused methods like EMDR and relationship-oriented strategies such as the Gottman Method when appropriate.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances skills-building, emotional processing, and attention to values and relationships. Her practice supports people navigating caregiving stress, family and attachment concerns, fertility and adoption issues, grief and loss, and occupational or identity-related struggles.

Sessions are offered through multiple online formats, and Danielle works with each client to match therapeutic goals to approaches that fit their needs and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Danielle integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in ways that translate well to online work. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity through guided protocols and bilateral stimulation techniques adapted for remote sessions.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, knowing that the right therapeutic fit often evolves over time. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptom patterns with each client and recommend approaches or combinations of methods that seem most likely to help. Clients and therapist work together to adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from different locations while preserving a consistent therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
