About Danielle
Danielle Behrens is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, and the stress of life transitions. Danielle focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
She uses straightforward talk and collaborative planning to help people clarify goals. Sessions often include learning small skills for managing emotions, improving sleep, and handling workplace or relationship stress.
Background and approach
Danielle emphasizes building self-understanding and stronger communication habits. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment strategies with cognitive and mindfulness techniques. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
This mix helps people develop new habits and steadier routines. Danielle welcomes clients who want both short-term problem solving and longer-term personal growth. She can help with addictions, grief, intimacy issues, body image concerns, and career strain.
Many people seek her support for parenting stress, caregiver burden, and managing chronic health challenges. In session she aims to make change feel doable. Conversations move at a practical pace with clear steps to try between meetings.
The goal is to leave each session with one or two actions that feel realistic and helpful.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Danielle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and to choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that get in the way of daily goals.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT is often applied to mood concerns, sleep problems, and managing stress in practical ways.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle works with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and life situation. She will adjust strategies over time based on what’s working and what needs to change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and skill teaching. Phone sessions are a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter coaching-style exchanges between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules while continuing steady therapeutic work.
