About Danny
Danny El Hassan is an LMHC practicing in New York. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, addiction struggles, grief, and self-esteem challenges. He also supports those dealing with sleep problems, career transitions, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and other life changes.
Danny favors a straightforward, collaborative style. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical ways to feel better between meetings.
How Danny works
He draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive techniques are used when people want clear tools for managing thoughts and behaviors. He brings three years of clinical experience and holds the LMHC credential from New York.
Past roles include phone counseling and telehealth work, which shaped his approach to remote sessions and brief crisis conversations. He has researched experiences of LGBT elders and micro-aggressions toward people with disabilities, and he has published work on LGBT aging. Danny pays attention to both current struggles and deeper patterns that influence daily life.
He mixes practical skill-building with conversations that increase self-understanding. That combination can help people make short-term changes and work toward longer-term goals. Sessions are adaptable to each person’s needs.
Danny offers a calm, direct presence and helps people set realistic steps for coping, healing, and moving forward.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing ADHD symptoms by breaking problems into concrete steps and experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That makes the plan collaborative and open to change as progress is made.
Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work when someone needs a simpler setup or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style conversations, or fitting a session into a busy day.
