“I have been working with Dr. Dan McDermott over several months on issues related to self-confidence in job searching and navigating relationships. I found him to be very professional and easy to communicate with. He worked to fully understand my problems and was very effective in challenging some of my core beliefs that were holding me back. I would highly recommend Dan for clients experiencing similar issues with anxiety and self-esteem.”

“Meeting with Dan has become an invaluable part of my week. Dan's ability to listen with compassion and comprehension creates a reassuring and collaborative environment that always leaves me with helpful insights on my experiences and useful tools for my future. Dan brings a sense of humor and levity to our sessions that makes me feel comfortable, helping me to share what I want and feel safe about it. He does an excellent job following up on topics I've often forgotten about keeping me honest and on target with my personal growth. I strongly recommend Dan for anyone considering therapy!”

Getting to know Daniel McDermott
These have been challenging times for many of us. Are you struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety? Have you or someone you love been dealing with substance use? Are you having difficulty in your relationships or just want to feel better about yourself? You're not alone. With over 25 years of experience facilitating group and individual therapy as a licensed social worker, and a Master’s in Social Work from the State University of New York, Stony Brook, I believe I can help. Therapy may be the place to start.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have an honest, direct approach and believe a sense of humor is very important. I'm only doing tele-therapy at the moment, but that makes the commute pretty easy.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I don't believe in a one size fits all type of therapy; therefore, my approach varies from person to person. In general, though, I have a strength based, solution-oriented approach.

Dan is a great therapist. He really listened and understood my situation and issues. He offered practical advice that I could do right away and that's had a big positive effect on my life.

Dan is the best therapist I've worked with. First off -- he was available and super-responsive. He was willing to juggle times to find something that I could do and I got the sense that he was truly looking to support me and help me. This consideration at the outset has made me feel safe and supported during therapy sessions. Dan is really great about listening and giving me space to find and express what's going on for me, and then he helps me understand connections and possibilities for change. This has been really helpful and empowering. I can't recommend him enough.
