About Danna
Danna Pero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing family stress, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and related concerns like caregiver stress, body image, and communication problems. Her approach is calm and direct, meant for parents and caregivers looking for practical ways forward.
She creates a welcoming space where people can talk without judgment. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that feel doable between appointments. Conversation, reflection, and problem solving are used to sort through guilt, shame, and forgiveness work.
With 15 years of experience, she draws on what has helped others in everyday settings rather than on abstract theories. The work often includes building self-love, improving how someone talks about needs, and reducing the load of caregiver responsibilities. This practical focus aims to make daily life more manageable.
Clients can expect direct support when navigating loss, finding purpose after change, or easing social anxiety and phobia. Communication skills are taught in ways that can be used with relatives, co-parents, and other important people. The therapist emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.
If you are ready to begin, she asks people to prepare a short intake so sessions can focus on current struggles. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
Approaches to healing and how online care can help
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to focus on what helps a person day to day. One common approach is grief work, which involves naming losses, processing difficult emotions, and building routines to restore daily functioning. This helps when someone is coping with bereavement or other significant losses.Another frequent focus is stress and compassion fatigue support, which uses practical strategies to manage exhaustion and caregiving demands. Techniques include pacing responsibilities, setting boundaries, and learning simple self-care practices that reduce overwhelm and improve energy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. This is a shared process that adapts over time as progress is made.
