About Danielle

Danielle Behrens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults who are struggling with issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and problems connected to work, identity, and relationships. Danielle aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical so people can take manageable steps forward.

Danielle uses approaches that help clients learn skills and understand patterns. She mixes tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness-based methods to help people notice thoughts and make changes that fit their lives. Attachment-based ideas guide her when relationship history shows up in current struggles.

Sessions tend to center on clear goals and usable strategies. Danielle helps clients improve communication, cope with stress, manage mood swings, and rebuild self-esteem. When grief, addiction, or chronic health concerns are part of the picture, she focuses on what helps right now and what builds long-term resilience.

She also supports people with parenting stress, career problems, body image concerns, and intimacy-related issues. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs so work moves at a sustainable speed.

People who choose Danielle usually want a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort through messy feelings and make practical changes. She aims to help clients feel more grounded and more able to handle life’s next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more workable choices. It often helps with mood, worry, and everyday stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy and relationship struggles.

Finding the best approach is part of the early work. Danielle collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what’s helpful, so therapy feels tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten commutes, and allow check-ins during breaks. It also makes it possible to continue steady progress when life or location would otherwise interrupt in-person care. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting so people can practice skills and try new ways of relating in their everyday environments.
