About Danielle

Danielle Carrasquillo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of professional experience who practices in New York.

Background and approach

She trained for her MSW at the University of Central Florida and brings a background that includes hospice and oncology social work, roles that shaped her approach to supporting people through loss, serious illness, and life transition.

Danielle has also lived and worked in Florida and recently returned to New York, and she continues to build on her clinical learning through workshops, conferences, and review of current research. Her therapeutic style is warm and inviting, balancing compassion with clarity and practical guidance.

Danielle draws on methods such as Internal Family Systems, attachment-based ideas, client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential inquiry, and mindfulness to tailor care to each person’s needs. She emphasizes collaboration, active listening, and concrete tools clients can use between sessions.

Danielle works with concerns ranging from anxiety, depression, and stress to relationship and intimacy matters, grief, self-esteem, family issues, trauma, and a range of life changes and career or caregiving stresses. In independent practice she offers remote mental health services that support clients seeking coaching, coping strategies, or deeper therapeutic work.

Danielle frames therapy as a creative, ongoing process and partners with clients to clarify goals and develop practical steps toward meaningful change.

Integrating therapeutic models for online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) frames difficulties as interactions among internal parts and the core self, helping people notice and relate differently to inner voices and protectors. This approach can be useful for working through trauma responses, shame, and persistent emotional patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational experiences influence current patterns in close relationships; it helps clients understand attachment needs and build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening, unconditional positive regard, and helping clients lead the pace of change, supporting self-exploration and personal growth.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Danielle treats approach selection as collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting IFS, attachment ideas, client-centered practices, or cognitive-behavioral strategies as needed to meet each person’s priorities.

Online sessions offer practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and access from home via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit consistent work into busy lives and to practice skills between sessions while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
