About Danielle
Danielle Poehlman is a licensed professional counselor with nearly a decade of clinical experience. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and draws on both personal experience and formal training to guide her work. Danielle became a therapist after losing close family members to addiction and mental health struggles, which shaped her commitment to helping others find stability and healing.
She uses straightforward, practical techniques during sessions. Danielle focuses on building trust and working together to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Her style is motivational and strengths-based, aiming to help people notice what’s working and build on it. Danielle helps people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also addresses sleep problems, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and attention-deficit challenges.
Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care questions, codependency, communication problems, and dissociation. In sessions she may use client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. These methods are used to teach coping skills, reframe unhelpful thoughts, manage intense emotions, and rewrite personal stories that keep people stuck.
Danielle practices from South Carolina and offers services in English. She aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people who are hesitant or unsure where to begin. The emphasis is on steady progress and finding what fits each person’s life.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Danielle commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and helping people feel heard, which supports building trust and finding personal answers. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT tools give concrete ways to manage strong feelings and improve day-to-day coping, which is helpful for anger, self-harm risks, or mood instability.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone is good when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help with scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care across locations.
