About Danyel

Danyel Robinson is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in New York. She brings ten years of experience helping people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. Her work emphasizes respect for each person's background and identity.

She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life. Danyel centers sessions on the person's story and current concerns. She uses Narrative ideas to help people see how problems fit into their life story and to create new, more helpful meanings.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Her approach also draws on attachment-based and client-centered methods. That means she pays attention to close relationships and listens carefully to what a person wants from therapy.

She helps people build stronger connections and clearer communication skills. Danyel uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies when helpful. Those tools include skills for managing panic, reducing anxiety, and handling intense emotions.

She can also support people working through trauma-related reactions. Beyond symptom work, Danyel pays attention to life context. She has experience with issues such as adoption and foster care, aging concerns, first responder and veteran challenges, and multicultural stressors.

People come away with clearer coping plans and steps they can use between sessions.

Online session options

How narrative and attachment ideas work online

Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. Online sessions can help people separate problems from identity and rewrite unhelpful storylines, which is useful for issues like low self-esteem and depression.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. In video or phone sessions a therapist can help identify patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether narrative, attachment-focused work, or skill-based CBT or DBT techniques fit best for the moment.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and body language cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging allow short check-ins or quicker problem-solving between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between meetings.
