Daniele DeOliveira

Daniele DeOliveira is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 18 years of experience to sessions. She focuses on practical, respectful care for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and career concerns. Daniele speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese and works with adults facing trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and identity issues. Her approach begins with listening. Daniele tailors conversation and plans to each person's life and goals. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful, not confusing or full of jargon. Daniele uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters and change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness-based ideas to build calm, stronger self-understanding, and more flexible choices in daily life. Over nearly two decades of practice she has helped folks navigate grief, anger, intimacy problems, and the transitions that come with adoption, blended families, immigration, and aging. Her work often addresses family of origin issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Beginning therapy is framed as a collaboration. Daniele supports people who want clearer goals around career, parenting, ADHD coping, or simply getting through a hard season. She encourages small steps and practical strategies that fit each person's day-to-day routines.

How Daniele’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small, purposeful actions toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, career questions, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns with practical exercises that fit into daily routines. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person leads the pace and topics, which supports work on self-esteem, grief, and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Daniele collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try things, notice what helps, and adjust the plan so sessions stay relevant and doable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises between meetings and use mindfulness or CBT tools that translate well to digital sessions. Ask about specific formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be arranged.
