Daria Datnoff

Daria Datnoff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with twelve years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life disruptions. She supports concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, relationship struggles, parenting and family challenges, and substance-related issues. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she aims to make therapy feel practical and down to earth for people under stress.

Daria draws on multiple approaches rather than a single method. Sessions often focus on understanding how patterns in relationships and life events contribute to current problems. She helps clients notice what keeps painful reactions going, and then practices new ways of responding that fit daily life.

Her work pays special attention to attachment and relational patterns. That means looking at how early connections and present relationships shape feelings, coping, and behavior. Daria also uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she incorporates emotion-focused ideas to help people process strong feelings.

Nature and relationship are central themes in her approach. She believes reconnecting with the natural world and with important people can support healing, and she blends those ideas into practical strategies clients can try between sessions. The result aims to be grounded, strengths-focused, and adaptive.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how those early and current bonds shape feelings and behavior. In online sessions this can mean talking through interaction patterns, naming emotional responses, and practicing new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; online CBT can include practicing skills, using worksheets, and setting small real-life experiments between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people access and process strong feelings to improve connection and mood; remotely this often involves guided reflection and in-session emotion work.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That process may include trying a couple of techniques and adjusting based on what feels most helpful.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or remove travel time. Online work also makes it easier to use worksheets, screen sharing, and real-life homework between meetings so progress can continue between sessions.
