Danielle Behrens

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 mood concerns, ADHD, addictions, and stress. Danielle also supports people dealing with relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem, career shifts, and intimacy-related issues.

Her sessions are practical and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people map what matters most to them. Danielle uses clear tools to reduce overwhelming feelings and build steady habits for everyday life.

She draws from several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based methods, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Those methods are used to help with emotion regulation, communication problems, and coping during life changes.

Danielle focuses on helping people improve how they relate to themselves and others. She works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, blended family issues, and commitment or control struggles. Her work also addresses eating and sleeping problems tied to emotional distress.

Her aim is to help people build realistic, sustainable changes. Sessions often include learning skills, practicing new responses, and making small steps toward clearer goals. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether her practical, supportive style fits their needs before reaching out.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward those values even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change how they relate and trust others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Danielle will work together with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration helps keep therapy relevant and focused on what the client wants to change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also support steady practice of new skills between sessions. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and the style of session that fits your life.
