About Danielle

Danielle Poehlman is a licensed counselor practicing with nine years of clinical experience. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials (SC LPC 11904, FL LMHC MH15277) and builds on a personal and professional history shaped by close exposure to addiction and mental health challenges.

Background and approach

Her training and life experience inform a compassionate, motivational approach that centers on clients' strengths and practical coping skills. Danielle blends evidence-informed therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered and dialectical strategies to address issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and stress-related difficulties.

She also works with clients affected by attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, dissociation, and a range of personality and mood-related presentations. Her style emphasizes collaboration, rapport, and individualized treatment planning to help clients explore change at their own pace.

Sessions focus on developing clear tools and strategies for daily life while attending to deeper narrative and relational patterns when useful. Danielle accepts international clients, offers several online session formats, and adapts her therapeutic work to match each person's goals and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Danielle commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning. She also integrates client-centered methods that prioritize empathetic listening and collaboration, allowing clients to guide the pace and focus of sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills may be incorporated to teach practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when these areas are a concern.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle works with each person to determine which combination of techniques fits their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for busy lives or remote locations. These formats support ongoing skills practice between sessions and allow clients to access licensed professionals from where they are, helping maintain continuity of care with fewer logistical barriers.
