About Me

Hello! I am Daniela, a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland and Nationally Certified Counselor.

As a therapist, my approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for your unique perspective. I firmly believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, emotions, and experiences without judgement. My goal is to help you gain deeper insight into yourself, your challenges, and the patterns that may be impacting your well-being.

I use a person-centered approach to therapy, which means I prioritize your feelings, experiences, and values throughout our work together. In addition, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques to help you develop practical tools for overcoming obstacles, managing difficult emotions, and building healthier coping strategies.

Whether you are navigating a specific challenge or seeking personal growth, I am here to support you as you build a stronger relationship with yourself and with others. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and committed to fostering personal insight, self-compassion, and positive change. Together, we will work to uncover the root of your struggles, develop empowering solutions, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

If you’re ready to explore your inner world and begin this journey of self-discovery, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

¡Bienvenidos!

Soy Daniela Gaona, una terapeuta bilingüe (inglés/español).

Como inmigrante, entiendo lo que es adaptarse, reconstruir y encontrar un sentido de pertenencia lejos de casa. Por eso me gusta enfocarme en nuestras fortalezas como comunidad —nuestra resiliencia, empatía y capacidad de seguir adelante a pesar de los desafíos.

Creo que cada persona es la experta en su propia vida, y mi intención es ofrecerte un espacio seguro y cómodo donde puedas explorar tus emociones, tu historia y tus sueños con empatía y comprensión. Mi intención es acompañarte a entenderte más profundamente, reconocer los patrones que te afectan y apoyarte mientras encuentras mayor bienestar y equilibrio en tu vida. 

Si consideras que puedo acompañarte en este proceso, estaré encantada de atenderte en una cita.
