About Danielle

Danielle Mascarelli is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who uses a narrative-informed approach to help people untangle their stories. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and the practical work of coping with life changes. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people find clearer next steps.

With six years of experience, Danielle combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered conversation and cognitive-behavioral tools.

Background and approach

She listens for the themes that shape how someone sees themselves and then looks for small, concrete shifts that change day-to-day life. Sessions move at a pace the person sets, with room for reflection and clear action when it helps. Danielle also brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing into her work when clients want to manage mood, panic, or addictive behaviors.

These approaches are used to build practical skills for regulating emotion and making sustainable changes. She pays attention to how attachment patterns, body image, guilt, and shame show up in daily choices. People who come to her often want help with relationships, communication problems, money and financial stress, or finding life purpose.

She frames challenges plainly and breaks them into manageable steps. The aim is to help people reduce overwhelm and regain confidence in decision making. Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit a client’s schedule.

Danielle encourages anyone feeling stuck to take a first step and explore what a different story about themselves might look like.

Narrative and Practical Approaches for Online Work

Danielle often blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories in ways that reduce self-blame and open up new choices. Client-centered work focuses on understanding a person’s experience and building trust so they can move toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors directly, offering clear strategies for managing anxiety, panic, mood symptoms, and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Danielle will talk with a client about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit the situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what feels doable for the person.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with brief updates or reminders. These options let people maintain continuity of care while accommodating schedules, work breaks, and different comfort levels.
