Great to meet you!

I'm Danielle Elliott, an LICSW — Massachusetts' highest independent social work license — trained at Simmons College, offering telehealth therapy to adults across Massachusetts. I specialize in complex trauma, CPTSD, PTSD, DID, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, gender dysphoria, and recovery from human trafficking, high-control groups, and sexual assault — areas where most therapists lack real depth. I use CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for PTSD, EFT, MBCT, Psychodynamic therapy, and Strength-Based approaches — all adjusted as you change and grow. You no longer have to face this alone.

My approach to therapy

My approach starts with one non-negotiable: building a foundation of trust before we do any of the hard work. From there, we build practical coping skills aligned with your goals — adjusting as you change. I use CBT and Trauma-Focused CBT to address the thought and behavior patterns shaped by trauma and adverse experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for PTSD addresses how trauma affects your relationships. Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with the deeper emotional layer. MBCT builds mindful awareness and regulation. Psychodynamic work uncovers the roots of what's driving your struggles. A Strength-Based lens means I start from what's already right in you. Therapy isn't one size fits all — so let's figure out what actually works for you.

What you can expect from me

The world can be unpredictable and inconsistent. Therapy with me doesn't have to be. In our first session, I focus on creating a nonjudgmental, comfortable space where you can be exactly who you are. We'll begin identifying what's most important to work on, and I'll start getting a sense of which approaches will fit you best. Nothing hard starts without trust. That's where we begin.
