About Danielle

Danielle Behrens is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, addictions, and relationship and family concerns. Many people consult her about how patterns from their upbringing continue to affect their present life.

Danielle keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what matters most, then helps people make small, manageable changes. Therapy often includes learning specific skills for mood regulation, communication, and coping with stress.

Her work draws on several established methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These approaches are used to address thought patterns, emotional reactions, and the ways early relationships shape current behavior.

Danielle often focuses on issues tied to family of origin, such as attachment concerns, abandonment, blended family challenges, and communication problems. She also helps with parenting stress, caregiver strain, body image, and intimacy-related concerns.

Sessions typically combine discussion with hands-on exercises. Clients may practice new communication moves, mindfulness techniques, or behavior experiments between sessions. The emphasis is on real-life application so changes can be noticed outside the therapy hour.

People choosing her practice are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions are arranged through a cancellable subscription model.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts without getting ruled by them and clarifying personal values to guide action. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decision-making. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections and reactions; it can be useful for people noticing repeating family roles or difficulty with closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes, which is helpful for mood, anxiety, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She helps people try different tools and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach exercises, coach through communication practice, and assign between-session tasks that translate directly into everyday routines.
