About Danna

Danna Pero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing family conflict, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and the strain of life changes. She also helps those dealing with compassion fatigue and questions about life purpose.

Danna keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps people name the next practical steps. Conversations cover feelings, patterns, and small changes that can reduce stress or clear a path forward.

Her practice pays attention to how relationships and caregiving responsibilities affect daily life. Communication problems and caregiver stress are common topics. She also addresses body image concerns, guilt and shame, and struggles with self-love and social anxiety.

Danna frames grief and loss in concrete ways, working through what has changed and what remains to be managed. For compassion fatigue she helps identify sources of burnout and ways to restore more balance in daily routines. Forgiveness and repairing communication are handled as skills that can be practiced in real situations.

Sessions are meant to be practical and conversational. People leaving a first appointment should expect clearer next steps and options to try between meetings. Danna accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, choose the See online therapy options button and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How evidence-based techniques shape online sessions

Many clinicians trained in evidence-based techniques draw from cognitive approaches to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking. Those approaches focus on identifying thoughts that increase worry or shame and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce their power. Behavioral strategies are practical tools that change what someone does day to day, such as building small routine changes to reduce burnout or practicing new communication steps to improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most useful given current goals and stressors. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and the therapist will check in about what’s helping and what should be adjusted.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for a quicker check-in during a break. They also let people try different rhythms of work, such as more frequent brief check-ins or longer sessions for deeper issues, depending on what the therapist and client agree will help.
