Ramy Danon, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ramy!

Do you overthink, replay conversations, predict problems, spiral, or get stuck in patterns that keep you from making progress? I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and struggles with procrastination and follow-through. I also help with boundaries, people-pleasing, self-doubt, guilt, resentment, and frustration.

My focus

Adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life transitions, and difficulties with follow-through. Clients might overthink, self-doubt, people-please, feel guilty or ashamed, or navigate conflict with mixed success. I also have a particular focus on relationship patterns that affect closeness, boundaries, and functioning.

My approach

Direct, caring, collaborative, and solution focused. Multiple modalities depending on what's most useful. This can include CBT to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, psychodynamic work to understand deeper emotional and relational patterns, and experiential or existential work to practice and identify what matters most to you.

My communication style

My style is direct yet caring. I want therapy to feel like a real, collaborative conversation between two people, not a top-down relationship where you are being managed or talked at. I value authenticity, candid emotion, and directness, and I want clients to feel comfortable bringing in happenings, conflict, and whatever they wish to.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to help people think more clearly, work through emotional and relational difficulties, and feel less trapped in repeating issues. I value authenticity, emotional honesty, and direct conversation that helps people understand themselves more accurately and make choices with greater freedom.

My goals for you

We start by identifying what feels most important, what is getting in the way, and what would actually help. From there, we set flexible goals and adjust them as needed as more becomes clear in therapy. The aim is to keep the work focused, practical, and relevant to your life.

Our first session

I’ll get a sense of what is weighing on you and what feels most urgent. We’ll talk through what has been happening, check in on different areas of your life, and begin identifying what may be getting in the way. You do not need to come in with things figured out. We will get a sense of where to begin and the next step.
