Danielle Webb, LCSW

Most of my work as a therapist comes out of behavioral medicine, where I've spent a lot of time at the point that physical health and mental health meet. I see adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I'm often working with people managing depression, anxiety, substance use concerns, or relationship difficulties, sometimes all at once. I care about reaching people in underserved communities who haven't always had access to this kind of support.

My approach centers on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A lot of what we do together is noticing patterns that get in the way, the ones quietly keeping you from better health, and then figuring out whether we can challenge them, reframe them, or replace them with something that actually works for you. I like to get underneath the behavior to the need it's trying to meet, because that's usually where lasting change starts. Sessions with me tend to be practical and collaborative; expect to do some honest looking at what's happening and why, and to leave with a clearer sense of the next step. When medication has a role, it's one part of a fuller plan, never the whole story.

What I'm really after is helping you grow into a version of yourself that feels more like you.

There's no rush to any of this. Reach out when the timing feels right for you, and we'll take it from there.

Laurie Griswold-Krupski, LMHC

Most of my work as a therapist is with people moving through some kind of change: someone stepping into recovery from addiction, sitting with grief, sorting out a relationship, or standing at one of those in-between moments in life where the old map no longer fits. I see adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I meet with individuals as well as couples who want to rebuild connection.

My approach is relational and experiential, which is a way of saying I care less about categorizing you and more about understanding your story and what you're actually reaching for. I draw on mindfulness, breathwork, Gestalt and Rogerian therapy, and creative arts, and which of those show up in a given session depends on you. Early on, I'm mostly working to earn your trust and get a clear picture of what matters to you. Sessions tend to be curious rather than clinical; I'll ask questions, we'll slow down and reflect together, and sometimes we'll use a creative technique to reach something words alone can't. I offer gender-affirming, trauma-informed care that honors who you are and makes room for you to express yourself honestly.

I believe connection itself is part of how healing happens, so I stay collaborative and let the pace follow you rather than a formula. If this sounds like the kind of work you've been wanting to do, I'd be happy to talk.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and grief, with about 15 years of experience across outpatient and inpatient settings, and in a psychiatric emergency department at one of New York City's top hospitals. That range has taught me a lot about meeting people during the ordinary hard stretches and the acute ones, and about not rushing either.

A lot of the adults I see are moving through a change they didn't necessarily choose, or sitting with a loss that hasn't settled yet. Open communication matters to me, so I'll ask real questions and tell you honestly what I'm noticing. My style tends to be warm and grounding; the point is for you to feel understood and steady while we sort through what's actually going on.

Early on, I spend real time getting to know your history, your concerns, and what you want to be different. From there we set clear, attainable goals together, and I build a plan that follows your priorities rather than a script. Expect practical strategies and steady support, not vague reassurance.

I trained at NYU as an undergraduate and earned my master's at SUNY Albany, and I've spent years supervising other clinicians as well as seeing patients.

If any of this resonates, the first step is simply a conversation, and we'll shape the rest of the work from there together.

I'm a therapist who has spent years treating adults navigating anxiety, depression, phobias, communication struggles, and the kind of relationship concerns that wear on you over time. Alongside my counseling license, I hold certifications in clinical anxiety treatment and anger management, and much of that focus grew out of early work facilitating a Women's Recovery Group during my internship at a substance recovery facility.

My style is warm, direct, and down-to-earth, and I'm not afraid to use a little humor to take the edge off a hard conversation. I want to understand the whole person sitting across from me, not just a set of symptoms, so early sessions are about gathering your background, talking through what's actually bothering you, and setting goals that mean something to you. I'll use clear assessments to track where we are and where we're headed, and I balance genuine support with gentle challenge when it's useful. From there we build a flexible plan that can shift as you do, sometimes with small between-session activities if you want to keep building skills on your own time.

What I care about most is that you can be yourself with me, without editing or performing. Change tends to stick when it happens at a comfortable pace rather than a forced one.

There's no timeline you have to meet here. When you feel ready to start, reach out and we'll take it from there.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on helping adults and older adults build practical, healthy coping skills through talk therapy. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Therapy in 2013, and I started my career in an inpatient psychiatric hospital. That's where I learned to work with people in genuinely difficult moments and to start from where someone actually is, not where a treatment plan says they should be. From there I moved into crisis centers and outpatient work, which shaped how I think about steady, ongoing support.

I care a lot about open communication. In our first session, I want to really understand your history, what's brought you in, and what you're hoping to get out of this, before I suggest anything. From there we set clear, meaningful goals together, and I build a plan around what matters to you rather than a one-size approach. I check in as we go to make sure the work still lines up with what you came for.

My sessions tend to be conversational and grounded. You can expect me to listen closely, ask questions, and be honest with you about what I'm noticing. I want you to feel heard and respected, and comfortable enough to say the things that are hard to say out loud.

I've spent years as a therapist treating adults through the kind of stress, health concerns, trauma, and life transitions that quietly reshape how a person gets through an ordinary day. Before I moved into therapy in 2016, I worked in case management and medical social work, sitting with individuals and families as they navigated complicated life and health challenges. That background still shapes how I listen: I pay attention to real life, not just a diagnosis on a chart. I see many adults, including older adults, who are managing more than one thing at once and want practical support rather than abstractions.

I start by learning your story, your strengths, and what you're actually hoping to change. Early on, my focus is helping you feel grounded and genuinely heard, because not much useful happens before that. From there we build a plan together, drawing on trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. As a certified yoga teacher trained in trauma-informed practice, I keep a mind and body perspective in view, and I check in often to make sure the work still fits your goals. My style is practical, compassionate, and approachable, and I set the pace to match you. I offer sessions in English and Spanish.

A lot of my focus lands on women's mental health, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, questions of identity, and recovery, whether that means finding your footing again or figuring out who you are while everyone else has opinions about it.

My approach is culturally responsive and advocacy-minded, and I don't pretend to be a blank wall. I've worked across schools, higher education, private practice, and rehabilitation settings, which taught me that no two people arrive needing the same thing. Early on, expect me to ask questions and actually listen to the answers, then help you get specific about what you want to change. From there we clarify goals and build practical tools together, drawing on cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based approaches, at a pace that feels supportive rather than rushed.

I'm a therapist with experience treating anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and the emotional upheaval that comes with big life transitions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, much of my focus is on helping people who feel stuck in their reactions, worn down by past experiences, or unsure of who they are in the middle of a season of change.

I think healing and growth belong together, so I pay attention to more than symptoms. Identity, purpose, and personal values matter in this work, and for those who want it, faith has a place in our conversations too. I start with a thorough first session to really understand your history, what's weighing on you now, and what you're hoping to move toward. From there, we build a plan that fits your goals, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and emotion-focused strategies. I'll also send you off with practical tools to use between our sessions, because a lot of the real work happens in your day-to-day life.

My aim is for you to feel more grounded and more in charge of your own direction, not managed. I value honesty, and I'll be honest with you in return.

I'm licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and New York, and as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, so I've had the chance to sit with a wide range of people at very different points in their lives.

What matters most to me is genuineness. I won't pretend to have all the answers or dress things up, and I'd rather be honest with you than tell you what's easy to hear. A lot of the people I see have been carrying something painful for a long time, sometimes the effects of sexual abuse or a loss they've never fully spoken about, and they need to feel understood and respected before any real work can happen. In a session, that usually looks like slowing down, letting you say things at your own pace, and staying open-minded about wherever the conversation goes. From there we work together to make sense of your experiences, build some insight into them, and put practical coping strategies in place.

My hope is that healing, growth, and a little more resilience come out of that process, though I never promise a timeline. If you've been quietly holding onto something and want someone in your corner while you sort through it, reach out and let's talk.

My work as a therapist centers on adults and older adults living with depression, anxiety, and the kind of stress that builds up when life gets heavy. Over more than twenty years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, much of it in medical social work and hospice care, I've sat with people facing serious health concerns, the loss of someone they love, and the quiet exhaustion of caring for a family member who can no longer care for themselves. Those experiences shape how I listen. Grief, illness, and caregiving aren't problems to be fixed; they're circumstances to be understood.

I'd describe my approach as warm and steady, without judgment about whatever you bring in. Early on, I want to understand the full picture: what's troubling you now, your history, the people and supports around you, and what actually matters to you. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work, but I adjust to how you think and what you're comfortable with rather than running everyone through the same method. The goals we set are yours, built around your strengths and priorities so the progress we make can hold up over time.

A first visit is mostly about getting to know each other and easing into a rhythm that feels comfortable, so we're not rushing anywhere before you're ready.

I'm a therapist who has spent years counseling adults and older adults across outpatient clinics, non-profit community agencies, and school settings. Alongside that clinical work, I've taught undergraduate and graduate courses at three colleges, which has kept me curious about how people learn, change, and make sense of what they're going through.

The way I counsel is a partnership. I take the time to fully understand your situation before we decide anything, because a plan built in a hurry rarely fits the person it's meant for. That means our early conversations lean toward listening: I want to understand your history, what's bringing you in, and what you're hoping will be different. I also pay close attention to your strengths and the resources already in your life, because those tend to be what real progress is built on.

From there, we develop a treatment plan aligned with your goals, so the path forward feels clear and structured rather than open-ended. I care about building a genuine working relationship, and I think that relationship is where most of the meaningful work happens. My pace is deliberate; I'd rather understand you well than rush to conclusions.

Family dynamics come up often, and years of family systems work have shaped how I listen for the ways those relationships shape the rest of a person's life.

I value open, honest, and collaborative communication, and I'd rather we be direct with each other than polite and vague.

Through the therapeutically proven interventions from CBT, DBT, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness, we can begin to explore triggers, symptoms, and challenges in a safe, respectful environment.

After receiving my bachelor's in psychology from SUNY New Paltz in 2013, I worked as a medical assistant with individuals with developmental disabilities. From there, I recognized the need to promote mental health and a balanced way of living. I completed my master's in clinical Mental Health Counseling through Walden University in 2021.

It is important to me that every client feels safe, heard, and supported. I am easygoing and approachable, and I believe in meeting clients where they are. My goal is to build a trusting relationship where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, feelings, and goals at your own pace.

I often incorporate techniques I have experience with and feel comfortable using, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Therapy. I also believe in being flexible and adapting my methods to fit each client's situation.

I graduated from SUNY Oswego in 2019 with a degree in Mental Health Counseling.
