About Danielle

Danielle Behrens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, codependency, and stress related to relationships, work, and life transitions. Danielle helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, and losing themselves in relationships.

She uses practical, evidence-based methods in session. Danielle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thinking that keep people stuck. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take steps that matter. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be used to manage intense emotions and improve coping.

Danielle pays attention to attachment history and how early relationships shape current patterns. Conversations in therapy often focus on communication habits, control issues, and managing grief or caregiver stress. Sessions also address issues like body image, intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to adoption or foster care when relevant.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. People can expect work on specific skills, experiments between sessions, and discussion of practical next steps. Danielle supports people as they practice new ways of saying no, setting limits, and strengthening a sense of self.

She offers services in English and works from Wisconsin. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions toward those values. It is often used when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed by feelings, or torn between what they want and what they do. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and behavior changes that feed codependent habits. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with the client to match methods to their goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. That collaborative pacing helps people try different techniques and keep what works. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel and letting sessions occur from a convenient location. It can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions without video when someone prefers that. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on skills practice, value-guided actions, and tracking progress between appointments.
