About Danielle

Danielle Poehlman is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling and practiced in both Florida and South Carolina. Danielle built her path to counseling after family losses tied to addiction and mental illness, and she brings that personal perspective into her work.

Her approach blends practical skills with deep listening. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people respond to stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. Sessions emphasize motivation, personal strengths, and step-by-step coping strategies that fit daily life.

Danielle uses a mix of therapy styles including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. She aims to tailor conversations and exercises to each person’s situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients often leave with specific tools to try between sessions.

She also draws on long-term experience with energy work and an understanding of people who identify as highly sensitive, offering education and practical coping ideas for those needs. Danielle describes her style as empathic and collaborative, working with clients to set goals and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Danielle practices as an LPC and LMHC and offers services connected to her training and experience. People considering therapy are encouraged to review her profile, complete the short intake questionnaire, and schedule according to the listed process.

How targeted approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person and building a trusting relationship so goals feel relevant and achievable. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer priorities, or support finding their own answers.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, habits, and feelings and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many stress-related problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving frustration tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It is often chosen when emotion regulation or impulsivity are primary concerns.

Finding which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adapt as needs and goals shift. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that would otherwise be required. Many people find it simpler to use therapy tools between sessions when remote options are used, too.
