About Danielle

Danielle Poehlman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She practices from South Carolina and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, sleeping problems, anger, and other mood or relational struggles.

She became a counselor after losing two siblings to complex struggles with mental health and substance use. That personal history shaped why she chose this field and how she listens to people who are worn down by repeated losses or hard patterns.

Her style is motivational and strengths-based. She leans on client-centered work and collaborative goal-setting. Practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are woven into sessions to help manage strong emotions and unhelpful thinking.

Danielle also uses narrative therapy and motivational interviewing to explore life stories and increase readiness for change. She notes experience with people who identify as LGBT and with clients who bring concerns tied to attachment, caregiving stress, and complex trauma.

She describes using education and hands-on strategies so people can try small changes between sessions. Sessions are presented as a team effort focused on building trust, setting realistic steps, and tracking progress toward clearer behavior and calmer responses.

How her main approaches work in online sessions

Danielle uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as practical tools. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought that fuel anger and testing new behaviors in everyday situations. DBT adds concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to reduce reactivity and improve communication.

She also draws on client-centered and narrative techniques to help people tell their story and define goals. Those approaches emphasize listening, reflecting, and helping clients notice which actions fit their values. Danielle works collaboratively to decide which methods to try first and adjusts the plan as needs and goals change.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since no specific session types are listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with her about which session rhythm and practical arrangements will best fit your schedule and day-to-day life.
