Danielle McDonaugh

Danielle McDonaugh is a New York state-licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience offering individual and family therapy. She has worked with people ages 8 through adulthood addressing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBTQ-related challenges, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, parenting difficulties, and anger management.

Her clinical work has taken place in varied settings, including community clinics, telehealth, homebound therapy, and a school-based mental health clinic. Danielle’s approach is grounded in the belief that much of human suffering arises from life conditions and that reactions to painful or adverse experiences are understandable responses to those conditions. She aims to bring warmth, comfort, and respect to the therapeutic relationship while engaging with each person’s unique experience with compassionate curiosity.

Danielle’s style is eclectic and draws from relational-humanistic therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic perspectives, and motivational interviewing. She collaborates with clients to listen to their needs and tailor treatment accordingly, whether the goal is to develop greater insight or to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She holds a New York clinical social worker license; her license number is 084851-1.

Danielle recognizes the strength it takes to pursue a more fulfilling life, especially when one is not feeling their best, and she is committed to supporting people as they work toward that goal.
