About Danielle
Danielle Behrens is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, mood concerns, stress, or relationship and identity questions. Danielle aims to make therapy practical and clear for worried parents and adults looking for steady support.
She listens first and then works with clients to set small, manageable goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use right away, like handling overwhelming emotions, improving communication, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Danielle uses straightforward tools rather than technical language so people can practice between sessions. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and client-centered listening. She also pulls from cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior methods when they fit a person’s needs.
Together these approaches help people notice what matters, build new habits, and manage intense feelings more effectively. Danielle has experience helping people with a wide range of concerns, including phobias, ADHD, addictions, grief, caregiver stress, body image, and career pressures. She supports those dealing with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, and attachment difficulties.
Her work is aimed at helping people feel more grounded and better able to handle daily demands. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and practical progress. People leave with clearer next steps and tools to use between meetings.
Danielle’s goal is to help clients move toward greater self-understanding and more reliable emotional balance.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Danielle commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, then move toward values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, phobias, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at past and current relationship patterns to improve how people connect and manage closeness or distance in relationships.She approaches treatment as a collaboration. The therapist will help figure out which approach or combination fits best based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That process often begins with a few sessions to see what feels most helpful and to set clear, practical goals together.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice-only contact. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and tracking progress between sessions. These formats make care more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
