Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, burnout, and stress. I obtained my Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland, which a concentration in clinical social work. I have worked in a variety of settings including, psychiatric hospitals, correctional facilities, community mental health programs, as well as private practice. I also have a particular passion for working with those in law enforcement and understand firsthand the unique pressures, expectations, and emotional toll that come with the job.

Clients often describe my style as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. I aim to create a space that feels real and nonjudgmental, where you can show up as you are. I focus on treating the whole person, not just symptoms, and I use a blend of approaches to support you in a way that feels practical and meaningful.

I take a holistic, non-pathologizing approach to therapy, supporting clients who want to feel better without feeling labeled. In addition to my clinical training, I also have a background as a health coach, which allows me to incorporate wellness and lifestyle strategies into our work. I believe mental and physical health are deeply connected, and I enjoy helping clients strengthen both.

Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported as your full self.

Therapist

Many of us, at some point in life, experience overwhelming and unpleasant feelings, such as persistent sadness, anxiety, grief, anger, loneliness, or stress. These may be the result of trauma, problems in relationships, stress because of work or school, loss, major life changes, conflicts, or unconscious/conscious self-defeating beliefs. However, no matter what has happened to us, we all have an innate ability to grow, to process, and to change. That fact that you are in this platform looking for help is already a great first step towards your healing process. I would very much like to help.


In my practice I provide strength and solution focused psychotherapy from a faith-based perspective (i.e. Catholic/Christian). This therapeutic process helps to empower you to take personal responsibility, resolve life problems, encourages you to advance towards desired goals, and promote healthy self-esteem.


I have over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy services to teenagers, young adults, and older adults. The work that I do has helped people heal, improve their overall quality of life, improve spiritual growth, and their relationships.

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I’m Dani — and I believe therapy works best when you feel truly comfortable being yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, understood, and never judged, whether you’re coming in with something deeply painful or simply feeling overwhelmed by life lately.

I work with children, teens, young adults, and parents navigating a chronic health condition, anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship stress, burnout, self-esteem challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. Many of my clients are caring, thoughtful people who spend so much energy taking care of others that they rarely give themselves the same compassion.

You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You’re allowed to come in anxious, uncertain, emotional, talkative, quiet, overwhelmed — however you are is okay. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, more confident, and more connected to yourself and the life you want to build.

Hello and welcome! I'm a psychologist who has had my practice for almost 15 years. I have previously worked in hospitals, universities, and nursing facilities, but I have found working in private practice is my strength and also my passion. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Hofstra University in 2009, and I moved from NYC to Ohio in 2020. So I get to see patients both in New York and Ohio.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New York

Finding the right therapist in New York starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types in New York include licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus.

New York has one of the largest concentrations of mental health providers in the country, which can make narrowing your options feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most to you: a provider's specialty, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, their location relative to your neighborhood or commute, and their availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and approach so you feel more confident going in.

Therapy in New York can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see which providers are covered and get an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.
