About Danna
Danna Pero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 15 years of experience. She focuses on family concerns, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, and also works on body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety.
Danna listens to what matters most and helps people sort through the next steps after big changes. She talks with clients about concrete problems like ongoing grief, worn-out caregiving roles, or shifts in identity after a loss or life transition. Sessions are practical and direct, aimed at making sense of feelings and finding manageable ways forward.
Her approach centers on open conversation and clear goals. She helps people name what they want to change and tries out small steps to test what works. The therapist pays attention to how responsibilities and relationships affect mood and choices, and she works with clients on communication skills and boundaries where needed.
Danna also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and caregiver stress. She notices the toll of long-term caregiving and helps clients identify coping strategies to reduce overload and protect their energy. For grief and loss, she offers steady, paced support as people adjust to new realities.
People who feel stuck about work, relationships, or meaning often come to her to talk through practical options. To begin, visitors are guided to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can see how her style fits their situation.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used to address grief and life transitions include grief-focused talk work that helps people process loss in paced conversations. This approach gives space to name emotions and memories while identifying small steps for daily life. Cognitive-based methods focus on how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and are useful for self-esteem, social anxiety, and guilt. These methods involve noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying alternative ways of interpreting situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan if something else fits better.
