About Danielle
Danielle DePalma is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 22 years of experience helping people through tough moments. She trained in psychology at Cornell University and earned a Master of Arts in Social Work from Columbia University. Danielle practices from New York and speaks English.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and a range of relationship and life-change concerns. Her approach is practical and person-focused.
Background and approach
She listens first and then shapes the work to each person's situation. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room for emotion and honest reflection. Danielle uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs.
She draws on the Gottman Method for relationship dynamics, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered therapy to keep the work rooted in the client's voice. She also integrates techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when appropriate. She supports people dealing with parenting pressures, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and fertility or caregiver stress.
Other areas she helps with include trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, codependency, career transitions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Danielle aims to make the first step feel manageable. She will help set clear short-term goals and practical skills you can try between sessions.
The focus is on steady progress and finding approaches that actually fit your life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Danielle blends several established methods to tailor online work to each person's needs. The Gottman Method focuses on practical skills for navigating relationship patterns and improving communication during conflict. It helps people learn specific interaction habits and rebuild connection steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behavioral experiments to change how people feel and act. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Danielle collaborates with clients to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level. Together they review what has helped in the past, try techniques in-session, and adjust the plan based on results and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get support between sessions or fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options help people access consistent care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
