Stress, Anxiety, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Depression, Coping with life changes
English
Hello, my name is Danae Ganos. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the state of Illinois. I received my Bachelor's degree from Judson University and my Master's degree from Loyola University in Chicago. I have over 22 years of professional work experience in both community mental health and private practice settings. My areas of expertise include: developing coping skills to manage anxiety and depression, moving through grief and loss, and healing from abuse and trauma. My treatment approach varies somewhat depending upon the issues being addressed, but most frequently I find cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to be the most effective. I strongly encourage clients to make use of homework assignments in-between sessions. I have found that most of the real work of therapy happens in between sessions when practicing what is learned during session takes place. It takes a lot of courage to take that first step in reaching out for help on a journey of growth and change. I believe that every person has many strengths that will help them in overcoming challenges along the way. If you think that working with me is a good fit, I look forward to listening to you, to learning your story, and to walking alongside you as you continue to move closer towards wholeness and health. Best Regards
