About Danielle
Danielle Behrens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of experience. She helps people facing trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, addictions, and stress. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, body image concerns, and career or life transitions.
Danielle uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens carefully and helps clients name what’s most painful. Together they work on small, doable steps to reduce overwhelm and build better daily routines.
Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. That means sessions may include learning new coping skills, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, and looking at how early relationships affect current struggles.
Clients often focus on improving communication, setting limits, and managing mood swings or compulsive behaviors. Danielle also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness challenges, and issues tied to adoption or abandonment. She aims to help people move from surviving to making clearer choices about their lives.
Danielle frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set priorities, track practical progress, and adjust strategies as needed. The overall goal is more reliable emotional balance and a clearer sense of direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and taking small actions that add meaning to daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and trusting others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Treatment can shift over time, mixing strategies from different approaches as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and let people join from a quieter space that suits them. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to continue steady progress when schedules or locations change.
