Danielle Mascarelli

Danielle Mascarelli is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Danielle also focuses on issues such as attachment, body image, communication struggles, and questions about life purpose.

She combines client-centered work with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Sessions often include talking through patterns that keep people stuck, testing small changes, and building coping skills for panic, mood shifts, and workplace stress. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when readiness for change varies, especially around substance use and money concerns.

Danielle pays attention to how early relationships shape current habits and self-view. Narrative work helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their choices. Mindfulness practices are brought in to calm panic and reduce rumination in day-to-day life.

Her approach is straightforward and focused on skills people can use between sessions. She helps people set small, actionable steps toward clearer decisions about work, relationships, and life direction. Sessions are conducted in English and follow New York state LMHC standards.

For someone feeling stuck or unsure what comes next, Danielle offers a mix of listening and practical strategies. To begin, prospective clients follow the online matching process and schedule an initial appointment to see how the work fits their goals.

Approaches used in online sessions

Danielle often draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness work in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the conversation focuses on the person’s goals and perspectives, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify priorities. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to test new behaviors and reduce symptoms like panic or depressive thinking. Mindfulness practice offers short breathing and attention exercises to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Danielle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress and needs evolve.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so people can work on concrete steps toward clearer decisions about work, relationships, or life purpose.
