Danny El Hassan

Danny El Hassan is an LMHC based in New York who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and eating and food-related issues. He also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, grief, sleep problems, addiction, ADHD, and identity matters related to LGBT experiences. His approach aims to make problems feel more manageable and to build on each person's strengths.

Danny uses an integrative style that blends Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential thinking, and mindfulness. He pays attention to both what a person brings into sessions and the patterns that play out beneath awareness. Sessions may focus on practical coping skills or on increasing self-understanding, depending on what a person needs.

Danny has practiced in telephone-based counseling and tele-health settings in the past and notes benefits such as easier access and added convenience. He offers both shorter-term and longer-term work and uses a strength-based stance to highlight what is working as therapy progresses.

People who choose to work with him typically explore immediate coping strategies and the deeper factors that shape behavior. He aims to combine practical tools with conversations that increase awareness and choice.

How Danny Uses Talk Therapy and Practical Tools Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard, clarify goals, and find their own answers through open conversation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, mood, and eating and food-related concerns.

Mindfulness approaches teach ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. These practices can reduce reactivity and help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Danny will work together with the person to identify what feels most useful, mixing conversational listening with skill-building as needed. Goals and techniques are revisited so the work stays aligned with what the person wants to change.

Details about current session formats are not specified here, so confirm options before booking. In his past tele-health and phone counseling work he found online approaches can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when life is busy. Online sessions can let someone fit therapy into a workday or maintain continuity when circumstances change, while still focusing on the same therapeutic aims as in-person work.
