About me

Hello! If you are exploring Better Help, it is likely that you are seeking a helping hand to improve your life. Sometimes life brings challenges which can become overwhelming and stressful. When you come to therapy, you get to drop the pretensions. You get to be vulnerable and explore the fears and painful feelings that you worry you cannot reveal to the people you love. Therapy improves mental wellness and helps to address maladaptive behaviors and coping mechanisms with safe and more effective coping strategies in order to travel the road to recovery. As you get more comfortable talking to me about your real wants and needs, you build the skills to manage your emotions and problems in a constructive way leading to inner peace. I would like to provide you with some information about myself in order to help you decide if my experience and style is the right match for you.

I have been a clinical social worker for 25 years and have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, grief and loss issues, anger, addiction and compulsion, marital problems, couples and family problems, codependency, and culture shock, acculturation. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be caring and nonjudgmental, and they appreciate that I am honest, having the ability to understand, good listening skills, easy to talk to, reliable, and trustworthy. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with others.

I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. My availability is from 8 AM to 5 PM. If you require different time we can discuss that. I check messages frequently and I try to respond as soon as possible.

If you like my profile and agree to a membership please look at my schedule, select an open slot, and book an appointment per your preference.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Daniela Sopko. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Still in the initial phases of working with Daniela but I am very satisfied with her input and feel confident about the direction we are going.

Daniela is the perfect balance of caring and tough love. She is receptive and helpful with very complicated problems, and knows when I need to vent vs. when I need problem-solving. Daniela doesn't sugar-coat, which is very appreciated. She is also comforting when it comes to sensitive topics such as queerness and identity.

Daniela Sopko is a great therapist. She brings a certain amount of humor to our sessions that help break up the congealed negativity I could certainly bring on to myself. She gives really great perspectives and ideas to better help myself heal. The process, while arduous, has been made a lot easier with the techniques she brings to our session and the tools she teaches me how to use to work through my issues. She knows the right time to step in and begins giving a non-judgemental perspective to it all. I was incredibly lucky to be paired with her, highly recommend.
