About Danielle

Danielle Poehlman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She practices from South Carolina and lists work with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and related issues including ADHD and bipolar disorder.

Danielle began counseling after family losses related to substance use and mental illness shaped her path. She holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in mental health counseling. Her background includes personal and professional experience with addiction and trauma, which informs her focus on practical coping skills and steady therapeutic support.

Her style is client-centered and motivational. She uses strengths-based language and builds treatment plans with clients rather than imposing them. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, problem-solving, and coping strategies that can be used between meetings.

Danielle draws from several therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing. She also references education about Highly Sensitive Persons and practical strategies that help with emotional overwhelm.

She notes experience working with intimacy and relationship topics that include kink-friendly conversations. Clients can expect direct discussion of behaviors, communication patterns, and steps to manage symptoms or navigate life changes. The emphasis is on actionable steps and steady progress over time.

How her clinical approaches work for online care

Danielle commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy into her work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. DBT offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can help with mood instability, anger, and relationship stress.

She also uses a client-centered stance and motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify goals and stay engaged. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work; she will discuss options and adjust approaches based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.

The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone to match their comfort level and bandwidth, and it supports continuing work across locations for international clients. Licensed professionals can guide practical steps to make sessions fit daily routines without promising specific outcomes.
