Therapist

Virtual • New York, NY


As a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) with 17 years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of guiding countless individuals through life's toughest moments, helping them rediscover their inner strength and joy. I graduated from Adelphi University in 2007, where I honed my skills in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, but what truly sets me apart is my deep commitment to seeing each client as a unique person with their own story, dreams, and potential. My practice is built on a foundation of empathy, integrity, and genuine care — I don't just listen; I truly hear you, validating your experiences without judgment. Over the years, I've supported people from all walks of life, whether they're navigating the fog of anxiety, the weight of grief, or the complexities of relationships, always tailoring my approach to what resonates most with you. Clients often tell me they feel an immediate sense of relief knowing they're in a space where vulnerability is met with compassion and expertise. I'm passionate about holistic well-being, incorporating mind-body connections and practical strategies that extend beyond the session room into your daily life. What drives me? Witnessing those transformative "aha" moments when someone realizes they have the power to shape their future. If you're ready to invest in yourself and explore how therapy can unlock a more empowered, fulfilling path, I invite you to reach out — let's start this journey together and see how far you can go.

Pasqual D'Onofrio

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I’m Pasqual D’Onofrio, a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience helping adults move through anxiety, burnout, and relationship distress.

My approach blends practical tools with reflective, emotionally attuned therapy. Whether you are navigating stress, uncertainty, or painful communication patterns, our work creates space to understand what is happening beneath the surface, and how to shift it. I offer a supportive, focused environment where you will not be

rushed, or expected to have it all figured out.

I work exclusively via telehealth with clients throughout New York State. Therapy with me will feel like finally being able to name what you have been carrying and learning how to meet it with clarity, curiosity, and care. If you are ready to begin from where you are, I’d be honored to support you.
