About Danica

Danica Rivello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 20 years of experience providing therapy to people facing a wide range of concerns. She has supported individuals through life adjustments, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, and grief, and she has considerable experience working with mood disorders and histories of trauma.

Rivello places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, viewing it as a central factor in growth and change. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she avoids stigmatizing labels. Clients often find her warm and easy to talk with, and she strives to create a welcoming environment free from judgement or rejection.

Her counseling style is interactive and supportive. Clinically, she combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing, and she adapts interventions to match each individual’s needs. Rivello encourages and supports the difficult early steps toward change and aims to empower people as they work toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges where thinking patterns influence mood and action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing self-destructive behaviors. It is helpful for people who struggle with emotional regulation and relationship conflicts. Mindfulness-based approaches teach present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance of experience, which can reduce reactivity to stress and support coping with chronic worry or persistent negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Danica works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. The combination of evidence-based approaches and flexible communication formats helps people engage in therapy in ways that work for their life.
