About Danielle

Danielle Behrens is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, stress, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of co-occurring problems that affect daily function and well-being. Her style blends evidence-based techniques with a warm, client-centered stance that emphasizes self-understanding and meaningful change.

Danielle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, attachment-informed work, and client-centered approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs. She aims to help clients improve communication, rebuild self-esteem, regain purpose, and find healthier ways to cope with stress and life transitions.

In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental space for exploration and healing, supporting practical skill-building as well as deeper emotional processing. Her practice also attends to related issues such as sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, caregiver burden, body image, and career challenges, with the goal of strengthening resilience and promoting sustainable change.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Danielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility so clients can pursue meaningful goals even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Danielle collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time, combining skill-building and insight work in a way that aligns with what the client hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide convenience and flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage workplace or caregiver constraints, and access therapy from different locations while working with a licensed professional.
