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!

Danielle is great! This is my first experience with therapy and I would recommend her to any of my friends. She’s been very communicative and responsive to my messages.

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 !!

Danielle has been great. We do video conferences weekly, but I also like to send a message when feeling something intensely between sessions and she replies with helpful advice and sometimes pertinent readings.
