Danielle Behrens , LPC

Danielle Behrens is a licensed professional counselor with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and the stress of life transitions. Her work includes support for women's issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, parenting strain, and identity questions.

She uses clear, practical steps in sessions. Danielle listens closely and helps people name problems. Together they set small goals and try new ways to cope between meetings.

Her approach mixes several evidence-based methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical skills to manage intense emotions. Attachment-based ideas help address patterns from early relationships that still cause pain today.

Danielle places emphasis on everyday skills. Sessions often cover communication, sleep and eating habits, anger management, and strategies for ADHD or bipolar mood regulation. She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns.

People can expect a straightforward, respectful tone in the room. Danielle aims to create a calm, non-judgmental place where people can try things out, learn to set boundaries, and build more satisfying routines. She helps clients track progress and adjust plans when life changes.

Her practice is located in Wisconsin and she offers multiple ways to connect. Danielle works collaboratively and focuses on practical tools that fit each person's life and goals.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes by shifting focus toward meaningful steps rather than fighting thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for mood, anxiety, sleep, and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may blend elements from different approaches so treatment feels practical and relevant to each situation.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good when visual cues matter and a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, on-the-go support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on skill-building and steady progress.
