Daniela Azaraev, LMHC
About me
Hello, my name is Daniela and I am a licensed mental health counselor. Thank you for expressing interest in individual therapy. I truly commend you on advocating for yourself and taking the first step and I look forward to working with you!
I have been in the field for four years. I have worked for three years in a private practice setting, worked in schools with children (K-8th) and I have done home visits and case management for the geriatric population. I have worked with individuals struggling with mood and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, trauma, ADHD, OCD, relation and family issues, gender identity, career and education issues, life balance, amongst others.
My counseling style is person centered and solution focused. I take on a warm and empathetic approach, I value honesty and accountability when it comes to building a therapeutic relationship.
I believe the client knows themselves better than anyone. It is my job to guide them on their journey by helping them gain insight to their behaviors, underlying beliefs and automatic thoughts, while providing interventions and teaching clients the skills to properly facilitate positive change in the long-term. I draw upon various treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered and Mindfulness.
