About Danielle
Danielle Behrens is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience helping adults navigate a broad range of emotional and behavioral concerns.
Background and approach
She works with people coping with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, substance-related issues, and stressors such as work pressure, grief, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses intimacy and relationship struggles, parenting and family dynamics, identity questions including LGBT concerns, and issues like eating, sleeping, and self-esteem.
Her style blends practical skill-building with empathic listening, drawing on cognitive behavioral approaches alongside acceptance-based and attachment-oriented methods. Danielle emphasizes collaborative goal setting and teaches strategies to manage emotions, reduce unhelpful patterns, and improve communication.
She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore past wounds, develop healthier coping skills, and work toward clearer values and direction. Danielle uses evidence-informed therapies such as CBT, ACT, and attachment-focused work, integrating mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior approaches when useful.
She aims to empower clients to increase resilience, strengthen relationships, and move through life’s transitions with greater clarity and self-compassion.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and homework. It can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and problem-focused challenges where learning new skills leads to measurable change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values; this approach can help with stress, chronic mood concerns, and building greater psychological flexibility. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how they influence current interactions, which can be helpful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and healing from relational wounds.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, discuss goals, and blend methods that suit the client’s preferences and circumstances. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit care into their schedules and daily life. These formats support continuity of work on skills, allow frequent check-ins when needed, and make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward greater emotional balance and improved relationships.
