About Danny

Danny El Hassan is an LMHC practicing in New York who works with adults on a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, grief, and career transitions.

Background and approach

He draws on a strength-based, integrative approach that blends psychodynamic insight with cognitive-behavioral techniques and person-centered priorities to support clients in both short-term and longer-term work. He names self-awareness and exploration of unconscious factors as tools to help clients gain clarity and new perspectives, while also addressing practical coping skills for daily challenges.

His background includes work with older adults and research contributions on LGBT elder experiences and micro-aggressions toward people with disabilities, reflecting a commitment to multicultural contexts and marginalized populations. Danny has clinical experience in crisis phone counseling and telehealth, and he highlights the practical advantages of remote sessions such as accessibility and convenience.

With three years of professional practice as a New York LMHC, he integrates clinical knowledge of mood disturbances, impulse-related behaviors, and self-harm into collaborative treatment planning tailored to each client's goals.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to build trust and identify personal strengths; it is useful for people seeking a collaborative, respectful environment to explore life challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaching practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a goal-focused, nonjudgmental method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen commitment to change, which can support work around addictions, impulse issues, and behavior change.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to tailor methods to their goals, preferences, and needs, combining insight-oriented work with skills-based strategies as appropriate. This process aims to balance deeper understanding with concrete steps toward improvement.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy weeks, accommodate mobility or travel constraints, and provide multiple ways to engage in therapy that fit a client's day-to-day life.
