Danielle Behrens, LPC

Danielle Behrens is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of experience helping adults through hard life moments. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, and major life changes. Her style is warm and direct, focused on practical steps that make daily life easier.

Clients come for help rebuilding self-worth, improving communication, and reducing isolation. Danielle helps people tackle workplace stress, relationship strain, and questions about identity. She supports coping with grief, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, and the shifts that come with parenting or career change.

Therapy sessions blend real-talk with tools you can use between appointments. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-based ideas to notice patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are added when they fit the person's goals.

Danielle aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She listens, reflects what she hears, and works with the person to set clear, reachable steps. Progress often means small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.

Her practice includes attention to complex or layered concerns like co-morbidity, caregiver stress, body image, and identity issues within the LGBT community. People who want straightforward guidance and practical skills to manage emotions often find this approach helpful.

How her approaches fit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small, committed steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. It can help with depression, anxiety, and life transitions by clarifying priorities and shaping daily actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relational patterns developed over time and helps people recognize how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying different tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.

In general, online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt the same evidence-based approaches used in person to remote settings, with a focus on practical skills and clear next steps to use between meetings.
