I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Pennsylvania and Maine and have been working with clients struggling with mental health issues for over 18 years! I have worked with many different populations over the years and specialize in treating individuals with depression, anxiety, stress issues, aging issues, and other life changes! I also have worked as a hospice social worker and have run grief and loss, support groups!
My counseling style is compassionate and warm, and I believe in treating everyone with respect! I also focus more on a collaborative style which allows you to be in control of the pace and focus of your sessions, while also offering feedback and alternative ways of thinking and problem-solving. I tend to use several approaches while working with individuals, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and problem-solving approaches. I believe that every individual can make changes and their lives and I aim to empower them to meet those goals!
Therapy can be a big step for individuals and change can be scary, but the results are very rewarding!
I offer video, phone, and live chat as options for our sessions and I can be flexible to meet the hours that you need for your busy schedule so that sessions do not have to be an added stressor to your life.
I look forward to working with you and helping you to live the life that you deserve and that you desire!

I had a therapist a few years ago that was amazing & I never thought anyone else would be as good as her. I was wrong! Danielle Allen has exceeded my expectations & then some. Even though we only message through the app I feel like I can tell her anything and she knows me pretty well. I would like to be able to talk on the phone or video chat, but I understand her time constrictions. She has helped me so much over the past few months I don’t even know how to thank her enough.

Though I have only been working with Danielle for two weeks now - I can already see and feel a difference in my well-being. She listens without judgment or bias and provides great worksheets and journal prompts for me to work on by myself. I am an introvert and have difficulty letting people know when I am suffering and through the worksheets and journal prompts I am able to express myself in ways I didn’t think possible. I look forward to continuing our therapist / client relationship together !!
