Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) in California

Psychotherapy. Coaching. Support.
Welcome to Bay Area Cognitive Therapy, the psychotherapy practice of Dr. Daniele Levy offering Telehealth visits across California and in-person treatment in Menlo Park.  I specialize in assisting adults suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, chronic medical conditions, and work/family issues to overcome their struggles and improve their lives using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).  I can help if:
  • You’re overly stressed about work, family, health and too many competing life priorities
  • You feel down, sad, depressed or have low self-esteem
  • You worry excessively about many aspects of your life 
  • You feel overly nervous in routine situations
  • You have anxiety, irrational fears or panic attacks out of the blue
  • You suffered a trauma that you are still attempting to overcome
  • You are having difficulties in important relationships
  • You have ingrained habits that you would like to change 
  • You need greater discipline to manage behavioral aspects of chronic diseases such as diabetes
  • You are navigating an important life transition
  • You are unhappy with your current circumstances and uncertain about how to move forward.

I offer a caring, collaborative, and goal-oriented style of therapy that focuses on learning, growth, and change.  I will partner with you to identify areas in your life that you may want to change or others that you wish to accept and embrace.  We will combine our expertise – yours, on your own experiences, and mine, on cognitive and behavioral change – to reduce your distress and improve your quality of life.

I tailor my work to each client’s problems to deliver fast symptom relief and lasting, meaningful results.  I achieve that by leveraging modern psychotherapy techniques called “evidence-based practices.”  Those are therapeutic approaches that have been validated through rigorous scientific research to treat specific mental health disorders, usually in brief intervention periods.  In particular, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a modality that focuses on finding solutions for problems that are “here and now,” as well as Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), ​and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).

In addition to offering individual and group counseling, I have advised, mentored, and coached professionals in fast-paced industries such as technology, investment, and consulting for over 20 years.  I believe that personalized, professional psychological support can be a competitive edge in building a successful and fulfilling career.  I can work with you to resolve workplace conflicts and navigate stressors using powerful insights and interpersonal techniques.  While I treat a broad range of adult clients, I have dedicated much of my clinical work and academic research to issues related to women in business.

If you’re interested in discussing your needs and finding out if I may be able to assist you, please contact me at (650) 434 3455. I look forward to hearing from you,
