About Danielle

Danielle Poehlman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Florida as an LMHC and lists South Carolina as her location. Danielle works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life changes, and she also supports those dealing with relationship, intimacy, and LGBT concerns.

She trained in psychology at Florida International University and completed a master's degree in mental health counseling at Capella University. Those studies, combined with her personal experience of family addiction and loss, shaped her decision to become a counselor.

Her style is motivational and strengths-based. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice what works for them and build small, steady changes. She also draws on therapies like cognitive behavioral work, dialectical skills, narrative approaches, motivational interviewing, and client-centered techniques.

Danielle has experience helping with mood concerns including depression and bipolar symptoms, attention challenges like ADHD, grief and loss, and issues around sexual expression including kink-friendly discussions. She mentions work with abandonment and attachment struggles, caregiver stress, and a range of personality and dissociative concerns.

Sessions focus on straightforward goal-setting and skill practice. People who choose her often want honest feedback, tools they can use outside sessions, and a collaborative plan for coping with daily pressures and major life transitions.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective, helping people clarify what matters to them and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical skills for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and changing habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating emotion, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can help with intense emotions and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges to decide which methods to try. Sessions can mix techniques so that practical skill-building and reflective conversation happen side by side.

The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or audio options according to what suits their bandwidth and comfort. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, DBT skills coaching, and narrative work to a remote setting so tools can be practiced between meetings.
