About Daniel
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four years of experience, Dr. Daniel Cifarelli helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. He also focuses on chronic pain, illness and disability, guilt and shame, life purpose, and post-traumatic stress. He practices several therapy approaches including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
Daniel trained first in medicine and then completed master's degrees in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. That background shapes how he thinks about the connection between physical health and mental health. He often draws on practical skills from CBT and DBT to help people manage symptoms day to day.
His sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. He works with people to identify problem patterns, try small behavior changes, and strengthen coping skills. Motivational Interviewing appears in his approach when people are weighing options or trying to make changes.
He has experience with trauma-focused approaches for people who have lived through abuse or other traumatic events. The work can include talking through memory-linked reactions, building safety strategies, and practicing skills to reduce distress.
Dr. Cifarelli holds LPC credentials in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. He sees people across adult age groups and describes his practice as informed by both clinical rehabilitation and mental health counseling. He accepts international clients and offers services in English.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's concerns and preferences, letting the therapist follow the person's priorities and pace while offering support. It helps when someone needs a listening approach and practical reflection on choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online work can include short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building concrete skills such as distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for handling strong emotions and improving day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Discuss practical preferences with the therapist when arranging the first appointment so sessions fit into everyday life.
