About Danielle

Danielle Poehlman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical practice. She is based in South Carolina and lists life purpose among her interests. Danielle's background includes work with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns among other issues.

She decided to become a counselor after personal losses tied to addiction and mental illness in her family. Danielle earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Florida International University and a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University. Her path into counseling is shaped by personal experience and formal education.

Danielle uses several evidence-informed methods in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Her style is described as motivational and strengths-based. She focuses on building rapport and practical coping strategies. Clients who identify as highly sensitive or who are involved in kink or alternative sex cultures are noted as areas she has experience with.

Practically, Danielle supports people working through life changes, grief, mood disorders, ADHD, and workplace or career stress. She also notes experience with attachment and abandonment issues, dissociation, and caregiver stress. People interested in starting therapy are invited to use the site's matching flow to schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions can use this approach to help people clarify values, priorities, and next steps in life after a change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT often includes practical exercises to try between meetings, such as tracking thought patterns and testing new behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing reactivity. Skills training online can include coaching on grounding, distress tolerance, and step-by-step behavior plans.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match goals, personal style, and the issues at hand. Sessions can adjust over time as priorities change and progress is observed.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use workbook-style exercises and between-session tasks more easily as part of regular life.
