About Danielle

Danielle Poehlman is a licensed counselor who chose this path after personal family losses linked to addiction and mental health. She holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. Danielle aims to listen first and follow the lead of each person she meets.

She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and grief. Danielle also addresses stress, addiction, sleep problems, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Adoption and foster care appears among her additional focus areas.

Her style is motivational and strength-based. Sessions tend to emphasize building rapport, clarifying goals, and developing everyday coping skills. Danielle mentions familiarity with Highly Sensitive Persons and often teaches simple strategies that reduce overwhelm.

Danielle draws on several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking patterns that affect mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and responding to each person’s priorities.

She describes therapy as a team process where treatment plans are tailored to the individual. Practical tools, reflective conversation, and steady pacing are common features of her sessions. People looking for help with trauma, addiction, or complicated life transitions may find this approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Danielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and often focuses on skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches specific tools for managing intense emotions, handling crises, and improving relationships. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work as well, which centers on careful listening and shaping sessions around each person's goals and experience.

Finding the right approach is something Danielle treats as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their problems and preferences, then suggest ways of working together. The method can shift over time based on how the client responds and what feels most useful.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use approaches like CBT or DBT skills training in ways that transfer directly into daily life, since homework and practice can be reviewed between sessions.
