Danielle Behrens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addiction, and stress.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. She uses proven methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make small changes that add up.

Danielle draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), among other approaches. She mixes skills training, mindfulness practices, and talking through difficult memories to build coping tools.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted over time. The work often includes learning new ways to manage strong emotions, improving communication, and shifting everyday habits that get in the way of wellbeing.

Her background includes long-term clinical work in outpatient settings and supporting adults through life transitions and workplace stress. Danielle emphasizes realistic strategies that fit into busy lives and focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite hard emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits for mood, sleep, and daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools. These skills are useful when strong feelings or impulsive behaviors get in the way of relationships and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress and challenges emerge.

If you plan to meet online, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into work, family, or caregiving schedules. Online meetings can make it easier to keep appointments, use a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel time while still practicing skills from session to session.
