About

Danielle Glorioso, LCSW, is an experienced grief therapist and psychotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience providing therapy for grief, loss, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, eating disorders, and major life transitions. Based in San Diego, California, Danielle provides telehealth psychotherapy for individuals throughout San Diego and California.

Danielle is recognized as an expert in grief therapy and Prolonged Grief Therapy, specializing in the treatment of complex grief, prolonged grief disorder, and suicide loss. She is frequently invited to provide presentations and trainings on grief and loss and has published on topics related to mental health, grief, and clinical practice. Danielle serves as a trainer for the Columbia University Center for Prolonged Grief's national Prolonged Grief Therapy Train-the-Trainers program.

Through her work in Prolonged Grief Therapy, Danielle has trained clinicians throughout the United States and internationally, including therapists in China, the United Kingdom through the National Health Service (NHS), Israel, and other countries around the world. She is passionate about advancing the quality of grief care by helping clinicians develop expertise in evidence-based approaches to treating prolonged grief and supporting individuals after significant loss.

Following the loss of her brother Brian to suicide in 2006, Danielle developed a specialized focus on grief and loss. She has dedicated her clinical practice to supporting individuals navigating grief after the death of a loved one, suicide loss, pet loss, divorce, relationship endings, and other significant life transitions. She is a nationally recognized expert in Prolonged Grief Therapy for survivors of suicide loss and serves as a trainer for clinicians learning this evidence-based approach.

Grief work is deeply meaningful to Danielle, and she feels privileged to witness the profound transformations that can occur as clients learn to integrate loss, reconnect with their lives, and find a renewed sense of meaning and hope. She believes that sitting alongside people during some of their most difficult moments is one of the most powerful and meaningful aspects of being a therapist.

Danielle is committed to advancing the field of grief treatment through clinical practice, education, research, and supervision. She has co-authored publications in the areas of eating disorders, ethics, mental health, and grief, and has been invited to speak on grief, loss, suicide bereavement, and evidence-based grief treatment. She provides clinical supervision and case consultation for therapists, social workers, and trainees working toward clinical licensure hours.

In addition to her clinical practice, Danielle has been actively involved in suicide prevention and bereavement support. She previously served on the Board of Directors for the San Diego chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and facilitates a monthly support group for survivors of suicide loss.
