About Danielle
Danielle Behrens is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common and persistent problems such as anger, trauma, anxiety, mood changes, and stress. Her focus includes practical concerns like work pressure, relationship strain, and parenting demands.
Danielle uses clear, action-oriented conversation to help people understand what triggers their anger and frustration. Sessions often include learning simple behavioral tools and practicing new ways of responding. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thought patterns and dialectical behavior therapy skills to manage intense feeling states.
Her work also pulls from acceptance and commitment therapy to help people name values and make choices that matter despite difficult emotions. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and closeness are part of the problem. The therapist explains approaches plainly and helps people try techniques in everyday life.
Danielle helps clients untangle issues that often overlap, such as depression with anger, or ADHD with frustration and sleep problems. She talks through practical steps for coping with loss, career strain, caregiver stress, or changes related to adoption and blended family situations.
Clients are guided toward concrete behavior changes and coping practices they can use between sessions. The aim is to reduce explosive or simmering anger, improve communication, and restore steadier functioning at work and at home. Danielle keeps sessions focused and pragmatic, with clear goals and check-ins along the way.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values. It can help when anger gets in the way of important relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors that fuel anger and depression. It is useful for workplace stress, impulsive reactions, and sleep or eating disruptions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust what they do together based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to practice new skills between sessions and track progress.
