My Approach to Therapy

Danielle Baliva is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with over 6 years of professional experience working with individuals, families, adolescents, and children seeking treatment for a variety of challenges, such as depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, and posttraumatic stress (PTSD).

My Practice & Services

She received her Master’s degree in social work (MSW) from Roberts Wesleyan College, and she understands that beginning therapy can feel overwhelming. Because of that, she prioritizes fostering a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect. Danielle’s approach to therapy is nonjudgmental, compassionate, and honest. She strives to work collaboratively with clients to improve coping skills, increase self-awareness, and empower them to reach their goals and support their overall wellness. Danielle utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed practices, and mindfulness-based practices to help clients navigate challenges. She works with clients to find an approach that best meets their individual needs.
