Danielle Carrasquillo , LCSW

Danielle Carrasquillo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of clinical experience, combining professional training with a wide range of personal and professional life experiences. A native New Yorker who spent 17 years living in Florida, she served in the US Army and supported military life as a military spouse, experiences that broadened her perspective and informed her work with diverse families. She has worked as a hospice social worker providing end-of-life care to individuals, caregivers, and families and later served as an oncology social worker offering emotional and spiritual support to people diagnosed with cancer. Those roles shaped her approach to care and remain a meaningful part of her clinical background.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education from Wayland Baptist University (2009) and a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida (2013), and she continues professional development through conferences, workshops, and review of evidence-based practice. As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker qualified to provide clinical mental health services - she practices from a warm, relaxed, and compassionate stance that is also direct when needed. Her style blends creativity with clinical rigor and draws on multiple modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic work, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness. She collaborates with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, parenting and family challenges, eating and body image concerns, and changes related to cancer survivorship, caregiving, or life transitions. Danielle maintains a private practice in New York and offers remote mental health services as part of her work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Danielle often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and coping; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and helps people understand and change how they connect to others, which is useful for relationship issues, intimacy concerns, and attachment wounds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while helping clients find their own solutions, and it can be valuable for self-esteem, life transitions, and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Danielle collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques as appropriate and adjusts direction in response to what works for the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent care around work, family, or health needs. These options support ongoing, accessible work with licensed professionals and can help people maintain momentum in therapy even when schedules or circumstances change.
