About Danielle
Danielle Poehlman is a licensed professional counselor and a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She came to counseling after personal losses in her family and a long interest in mental health. Danielle focuses on helping people who are coping with addiction, trauma, mood struggles, and life transitions.
Her style is motivational and strengths-based. She uses empathy and clear listening to build trust and then works with each person to shape goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and tailored to what a person needs in their day-to-day life. Danielle combines several clinical approaches to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person and their values. She also brings attention to less-discussed concerns such as complex grief, caregiver stress, kink and alternative sex culture, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment.
Danielle pays attention to how sleep, work, and identity stressors affect mood and functioning. People who are looking for a practical, empathic therapist may find her approach useful. She aims to work collaboratively so clients leave with clear coping tools and a plan for the next steps.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to set goals and make changes; it helps people feel heard and respected while they figure things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and teaches practical steps to shift patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving communication and can be especially useful for people managing mood swings or self-destructive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That process may include trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan so it matches a client's preferences and situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady progress over time.
