Hello,
My name is Danae Ganos. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing and able to work with clients who are in the state of Illinois during the times of their sessions. I received my Bachelor's degree from Judson University and my Master's degree from Loyola University in Chicago. I have over 23 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, healing from abuse and trauma, dealing with transition, managing stress, and codependency.
I am also well-versed and comfortable in working with multiple other issues such as family-of-origin, communication, self-love, isolation and loneliness, guilt and shame, recovery after divorce or separation, and women's issues.
My treatment approach varies somewhat depending upon the issues being addressed, but most frequently I find client-centered and 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.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Danae has been great - understanding and helpful
Danae Ganos is very understanding and patient. She helps me get down to the bottom of things I can quite make out, and helps me with problems I face.
She is so kind, calm, gentle and knowledgeable. I am so blessed to have her in my life. Anything bad or good happens in my life first Danae comes to mind, she’s like a pillow that I know I can lay & rest my head on with so many thoughts running in my mind because I know when I message Danae she responds so attentively, with the best response. I am so happy to have her in my life.

She Amazing
Danae is a fantastic partner in navigating this field of mental difficulties.
She is always a great reflective listener who allows you space and reassures you the safety of the space you are speaking in. She is also very cognizant of her language and is very professional.
I have only had a few sessions with Danae but I am also excited when we have our sessions. She listens well and provides great feedback and insights in a nurturing way. Thank you Danae!
Very kind, considerate and a great listener
