LCSW, 6 years of experience
New to Grow
My name is Daniel Llerena. I have worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 5 years. I received my Bachelor degree at Central Connecticut University New Britain, CT and Master’ degree in social work from University of Connecticut School of Social Work, Hartford, CT. My clinical orientation includes individual therapy (adults), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Solution-focused techniques.
The first session will be discussing the needs/presenting concern(s), assessing compatibility and making referrals when necessary to appropriate care.
Working with people from various backgrounds and issues has helped me learn from them to be a better clinician. It has given me a stronger understanding of the varying complexities people go through.
I work with adults from a diverse population and socioeconomic backgrounds having challenges with managing stressors, anxiety and depression.
I use this method of treatment helping individuals identify and change negative/unhelpful thoughts that lead to distressing emotions and behaviors.
I use this method of treatment helping others develop a greater awareness of the present moment, leading to a reduction in stress and anxiety, improving emotional regulation and have a nonjudgemental approach toward one's thoughts and feelings.
