Getting to know Daniele Ascani

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with two master’s degrees from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York, including a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. I have over a decade of experience providing therapy to clients of all ages from diverse populations throughout New York City. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and men’s issues. I am passionate about helping others search for clarity and relief. I believe therapy is a journey that may require different approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Psychodynamic Therapy, Functional Family Therapy (FFT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I consider change a process and am committed to providing a safe, trusting environment that encourages reflection and self-discovery. I have held various clinical and supervisory roles in nonprofit and private sectors and have extensive experience in trauma and crisis intervention. I developed my clinical skills through training and by working relentlessly with thousands of individuals and families. This allows me and my clients to quickly narrow down therapy’s focus. I look forward to using my training and knowledge to make our sessions meaningful and purposeful. I live in New York City with my wife and daughter and understand the challenges of balancing professional and family life in a fast-paced urban environment. This motivated me to open a private practice, as I believe society expects NYC professionals to always produce. This pressure, combined with other expectations, takes a toll on personal life and relationships. In my spare time, I enjoy running outdoors and traveling with my family.

For a blk man who can't find a blk therapist, it is hard but Daniel has made it easy to communicate. It acknowledge he isn't blk, he does not know those inner struggles, but he wants to hear them and help me work them out.

I had a lot of trouble finding someone in the city that I enjoyed speaking to and actually felt like I was heard. Super grateful to have met Dr. Ascani, who treats me like more than just another client!
Dr. Ascani is a talented therapist. We saw him for couples counseling and in just a few sessions he was able to help us recognize and address the issues we were struggling to get through. We feel more connected and have a better understanding of each other’s feelings. I strongly recommend him and will definitely contact him again if we hit a rough patch.
Daniele Ascani is an excellent therapist. He is kind, patient and interactive. In a very short time period, he has helped me to become more aware of my thoughts and feelings, and has provided me with various tools to more positively reframe my thinking. Daniele is an advocate for mental health insurance, and went above and beyond in order to access the most comprehensive benefits available to me. I highly recommend Daniele.
Daniele Ascani, LMHC, MA, CEAP is a very caring and compassionate therapist. He utilizes his real life experience to connect and care for his patients. He helped me define my rumination and is often helping me with reframing my thoughts. I have been a patient of his for about three and I am extremely satisfied. He is always on time and sends several reminders to confirm appointments.
Daniele is amazing. He not only helped me with gaining confidence but he has also helped me with improving the relationship with my wife. Highly recommended.
5 out of 5. Daniel is a thoughtful, motivating and easy to talk to counselor. It is clear that he has a wealth of experience working with others with a variety of backgrounds, and was able to start working with me right away. I've made so much progress in such a short period of time. I cannot recommend him enough.
Daniele is a great therapist for really any issue. He is very understanding of different viewpoints, which I think helps him solve complex issues with the client. I would recommend him to anyone, in particular for men in NYC!
Daniel is a patient and kind therapist. He will always give you space to talk and think out loud, and he follows up in subsequent weeks on what you've talked about. He's very timely as well, very non judgmental, and really remembers things about my (even from weeks ago) that makes me feel valued.
Daniel is great and has been incredibly helpful to me in my journey. He makes it easy to book time together. I recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a new therapist.
Daniel is a kind and patient listener. He has helped me navigate many issues in my personal life, and I value his advice very much
Highly recommended! Daniel is someone you can trust. He is there to listen, but also gives wonderful advice and follows up. Truly empathetic and kind.
Daniel always listens carefully and isn't afraid to tell me what he actually thinks. I appreciate his ability to validate my concerns and feelings while simultaneously challenging me to think about things in a new perspective.
I have had a great experience with my sessions with Daniele. He is a great listener, very engaged in our conversation and offers very helpful feedback. I would recommend his service to anyone considering using it.
Really appreciate that doc wasn’t patronising and gave me a fresh perspective to life. I am more aware of the sources and outcomes of my triggers and it’s helping me live a healthier life.
Daniel is amazing. He is incredibly supportive and empathetic; it was a weight off my shoulders to speak to him. He's also very insightful intelligent, and I'm grateful for all his help.
Awesome first session.
Verified patient
Very kind and has a great perspective— Daniel is a great listener and skillfully tailors conversation based on your responses to keep conversations focused and relevant. He challenges you to think about things from a different point of view and lets you organically reflect on your responses. Highly recommended.
My first meeting with Daniel Ascani was amazing. He was really engaged and I could tell he cares about the work that he does. It was comforting knowing that he had taken the time to read the questionnaire I had filled out the night before. What makes Daniel a great therapist is not just that he listens to his clients, but that he genuinely shows empathy. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to improve their mental wellbeing.
