About
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.
