About Danae
Danae Ganos is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She draws on 24 years of practice to offer steady support during difficult moments. Her work often focuses on coping skills, self-worth, and healing from past hurt.
She listens first and adapts to each person’s pace. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps, not jargon. Danae uses a person-centered style that centers the client’s experience and priorities.
Background and approach
She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. That approach is used in short exercises and homework people can practice between sessions. Danae pays attention to patterns that come from family history, codependency, and communication breakdowns.
She supports people through separation or divorce and helps those coping with guilt, shame, loneliness, or questions about identity and self-love. Her work includes attention to women’s issues and how faith can matter in recovery, when clients want that included. Danae meets people where they are and helps them build steady routines, clearer boundaries, and more reliable ways to handle stress.
Sessions are focused and practical, with an emphasis on small, achievable changes. The goal is to leave people better able to manage anxiety and life transitions and to feel more connected to their values and strengths.
How Danae’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for anyone needing a steady, respectful place to talk through feelings and choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and then try different behaviors. Online sessions often include brief exercises, thought records, or small experiments people can use between meetings to test new habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Danae will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she will adjust as things change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people pick what fits their day. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
