Danielle Mascarelli

Danielle Mascarelli is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She meets people where they are and helps them take small, doable steps toward feeling better. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions, as well as body image and self-esteem concerns.

She uses straightforward talk therapy built around understanding each person's story. Sessions focus on identifying immediate problems, testing new ways of coping, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. Danielle draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor the work to each person’s needs.

Over six years of practice have given her experience with panic, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress, and she often helps clients manage life changes and workplace strain. She also supports people working through attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and money.

Danielle blends short-term strategies with longer reflections on personal meaning. That might look like trying a new behavior for a week, then talking about how it felt and why it mattered. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, practical skills, and steady progress.

People who choose Danielle usually want a warm, direct therapist who listens and offers concrete tools. Sessions are held in English and guided by the client’s priorities and pace.

How Danielle’s approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them find their own answers, which is useful for concerns like self-esteem and life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple experiments and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and change unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their experience without judgment and build steady habits for stress and mood management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Danielle will work together with the client to decide what methods fit best for their goals and daily life. That collaboration can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.

For online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find that virtual work fits into busy schedules, makes it easier to keep appointments, or lets them check in from different locations. Online therapy can support skill practice between sessions and make follow-up work easier to maintain.
