About Danielle
Danielle Behrens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma and many of the stresses that come with adult life. Her focus includes mood disorders, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, grief, and coping with major life changes.
She uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions often include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation. Danielle also draws on attachment-informed work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. Conversations aim to identify small, achievable changes people can try between sessions. She watches for how stress and work or family responsibilities affect daily routines and sleep, and addresses those where they come up.
Danielle has experience with a wide range of concerns that often overlap, such as addiction with mood disorders, caregiving stress, body image and identity issues. She supports people dealing with parenting strain, career uncertainty, or the emotional fallout of adoption and abandonment.
Clients who meet with her can expect collaborative planning about goals and steps to practice outside sessions. To begin, readers can use the site matching process to schedule an initial appointment and discuss which approaches might fit best.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by shifting energy toward meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce symptoms and manage daily stressors. It is useful for mood disorders, sleep problems, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns that started early in life and how they affect current relationships and emotional responses; it can be helpful for intimacy, communication, and recurring relationship difficulties.The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods as those needs change over time.
The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoiding travel to an office. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking.
