About Danielle
Danielle Behrens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. Danielle also supports people coping with stress, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, grief, and career challenges.
She uses straightforward talk and practical skills in sessions. Clients work on clearer communication, better sleep and eating habits, and stronger coping during stressful times. Danielle often helps people reduce avoidance and manage intense emotions step by step.
Her approach draws on several well-known methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She blends these to match what a person needs in the moment, then adjusts as progress is made. Sessions include learning specific skills and trying new behaviors between meetings.
Danielle takes an attachment-informed view when relationships or early loss shape current problems. This helps with issues like codependency, abandonment, blended family stress, and caregiver strain. She also supports people managing chronic illness, addictions, or co-occurring conditions.
People meet her for both short-term problem solving and longer-term work on identity, self-esteem, and life direction. She uses client-centered techniques that keep conversation focused on what matters to the individual. To start, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if her style fits.
How her approaches translate to online work
Danielle commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action rather than getting stuck, which can help with avoidance and social anxiety. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change patterns like worry and avoidance.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. This shared planning keeps sessions focused on measurable steps and personal priorities.
The specifics of how online sessions are offered are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists working online often use the same ACT and CBT exercises as in-person work, adapted for remote practice and real-life tasks between sessions.
