About Danny
Danny El Hassan is an LMHC licensed in New York with three years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, issues around sexuality and intimacy, and problems with sleep, relationships, and addiction. He also supports people dealing with grief, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and age-related concerns.
Danny uses a straightforward, integrative approach. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. He pairs that with client-centered listening and existential questions that look at values and meaning. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit the goals presented.
Sessions are focused and practical. Danny pays attention to patterns people repeat and the unconscious factors that can keep those patterns going. He offers both shorter-term, goal-focused work and longer-term therapy when deeper reflection is needed.
He has worked with older adults and has published research related to LGBT elders. He has also researched micro-aggressions faced by people with disabilities. Past roles include telehealth and phone counseling, including crisis support, which shaped his view of remote care's benefits.
If someone wants clear tools to change thoughts and behavior, combined with time to reflect on meaning, Danny blends those elements in sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can use CBT to set concrete homework, track patterns, and practice small changes between meetings.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting the person's concerns. In remote sessions this looks like focused conversation that prioritizes what matters now and clarifies goals for future work.
Existential Therapy brings questions about meaning, values, and life direction. It helps people who are coping with big changes, loss, or questions about identity to name what matters and make choices that align with those values.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Danny will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches to emphasize based on their goals and preferences. That plan can change over time as needs evolve.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography notes prior telehealth and phone counseling experience, but current formats are not listed here; please check which session types are offered. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time, depending on the formats available.
