Danielle Carrasquillo , LCSW

Danielle Carrasquillo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of professional experience supporting people through major life transitions, health challenges, and relationship struggles. A native New Yorker who lived in Florida for 17 years, she served in the US Army and was a military spouse, experiences that shaped her perspective on mobility, family systems, and resilience. Her clinical background includes roles as a Hospice Social Worker and an Oncology Social Worker, where she provided emotional and spiritual support to individuals, caregivers, and families facing serious illness.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education from Wayland Baptist University, completed in 2009, and a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida, earned in 2013. Since completing her degrees she has continued professional development through conferences, workshops, reading empirical research, and consultation with colleagues. Currently in private practice, she embraces the opportunities that remote mental health services offer to reach clients in flexible ways.

Danielle cultivates a warm, inviting environment and couples a relaxed, compassionate stance with direct, practical guidance. Her approach is creative and collaborative, drawing on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness. She works with clients through active listening, thoughtful feedback, and concrete tools that can be practiced in the moment to help meet treatment goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Danielle combines evidence-informed strategies to help clients make practical changes and increase emotional awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, collaborative relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-exploration - this approach can be especially useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and improving relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support coping with stress, chronic health concerns, and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Danielle works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. She aims to offer practical tools alongside reflective work so clients can see tangible benefits.

Online therapy with Danielle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides scheduling flexibility and easier access for people juggling work, caregiving, or health appointments. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care and engage in therapy in formats that fit their daily lives.
