About Danielle
Danielle Behrens is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions. She offers calm, practical support aimed at easing overwhelm and improving daily functioning. Danielle writes in plain, direct language and helps people take small, concrete steps forward.
Her sessions focus on understanding what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns that keep clients stuck and works with them to try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Danielle draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and skills-based approaches to reduce distress and build steady routines. Danielle also pays attention to relationships and attachment issues. She helps clients sort through communication problems, intimacy concerns, and difficulties tied to abandonment or blended family stress.
That work often includes practicing new ways to ask for needs and set boundaries. She supports people dealing with complex diagnoses and overlapping concerns, including bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, chronic illness, and grief. Danielle blends acceptance-focused methods with practical skill building so clients can manage symptoms while moving toward valued goals.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Danielle works collaboratively, tailoring the pace and tools to each person’s goals. Her aim is steady progress, clearer choices, and a greater sense of confidence in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters to them. It teaches simple exercises to build perspective and move toward meaningful goals despite anxiety or pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with clear tools like thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce worry and depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time to match changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time, while phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter skill coaching, or working through thoughts between sessions. These options help therapy fit around work, parenting, or treatment for chronic health needs.
