About Danica

Danica Rivello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of life challenges. She has extensive clinical work with mood disorders, trauma histories, depression, anxiety, and relationship and family concerns, and she also assists people facing grief, life transitions, addiction, parenting challenges, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Her practice spans many areas including stress management, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiver strain, chronic health concerns, and communication or commitment problems.

Danica approaches therapy with warmth, respect, and sensitivity, emphasizing the therapeutic relationship as a central part of growth and change. Her counseling style is interactive and compassionate, and she combines cognitive-behavioral methods with solution-focused and motivational interviewing techniques to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Clients frequently note that she is easy to talk with and creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where practical skills and personal values are addressed together.

She encourages and supports the first steps toward change, meeting each person where they are and helping them build strategies that fit their life. Danica is based in New Jersey and is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Danica integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside mindfulness-informed practices to help clients address thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and developing practical strategies to change behavior, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly helpful for mood instability, intense emotions, and relationship challenges. Mindfulness practices teach present-moment awareness and self-compassion, supporting stress reduction and improved coping with chronic difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Danica works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She tailors interventions over time and blends methods as needed so treatment stays responsive and relevant.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited travel options. These options allow ongoing access to licensed professionals and therapists while supporting continuity of care and practical skill-building in the context of everyday life.
