About Danielle
Danielle Behrens is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and stress. Parents and professionals who feel overwhelmed by work, grief, relationship strain, or identity questions will find straightforward support.
Danielle focuses on practical change and clearer daily routines rather than long lectures. Her style is warm and direct. She listens first, then suggests small experiments clients can try between sessions.
How Danielle works
Sessions often include goal-setting, skills practice, and checking what did or did not help. Danielle teaches ways to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety so that daily life feels more manageable. Danielle combines several approaches to fit each person's needs.
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment tools to clarify values, and attachment-based thinking to look at relationship patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies and client-centered conversation are used when emotion regulation and self-compassion are priorities. Her background includes many years helping adults cope with life changes, addictions, caregiving stress, body image and intimacy-related concerns.
She also supports people working through grief, blended family issues, and career decisions. Danielle tailors practical plans for sleep, eating, and activity when those areas are part of the problem. People who choose her describe wanting clear steps and a steady guide.
Danielle works with each person at their own pace and focuses on skills that fit real life. She offers sessions in English and practices throughout Wisconsin.

Approaches that translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication; it can help with intimacy issues, trust, and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online therapy with Danielle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls work well for full sessions with visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone needs a quick coaching-style message between appointments. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and busy lives.
