About Danielle

Danielle Poehlman is a licensed professional counselor with nine years of experience. She holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling and works with people dealing with addiction, mood disorders, trauma, and stress. Danielle draws on personal experience with family loss to inform a compassionate, steady approach to therapy.

She keeps sessions practical and down to earth. Danielle uses motivational, strengths-based methods and focuses on building trust quickly. She helps people set realistic goals, learn coping skills, and talk through painful experiences in a way that fits their life.

Her background includes work with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and addiction-related concerns. She also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, anger, sleep problems, and career stress. Danielle is knowledgeable about highly sensitive people and offers straightforward strategies to manage overwhelm.

Therapy with her is collaborative. She and the client shape the plan together and adjust it as needed. Sessions may mix problem-solving, skill-building, and time to process feelings so people leave with clearer steps to try between visits.

Danielle is licensed as an LPC and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. She practices from South Carolina and works with English-speaking clients, including people outside the U.S. when arrangements allow.

How Danielle’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following a person’s lead to build goals that matter to them. It helps when someone needs validation and a space to sort out what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills and is useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Together they set goals, try techniques in sessions, and adjust plans as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional from another region, which supports continuity of care for those who move or travel.
