Danielle Behrens

Danielle Behrens is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience helping adults manage trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Danielle aims to help people rebuild self-worth, handle stress, and improve communication in important relationships.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address painful memories and current patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with space to name what’s most urgent and work toward small, steady changes.

Danielle creates a calm, nonjudgmental setting where people can talk through hard experiences and build new coping skills. She often helps clients untangle relationship and identity concerns, manage workplace stress, and cope with grief or caregiver strain.

Her work emphasizes practical tools - like skills for regulating strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thinking, and clarifying personal values - matched to each person’s needs. Progress is tracked in ways that make sense to the person in the room.

Danielle practices in Wisconsin and brings long-term clinical experience to each session. She works in plain language and focuses on attainable steps so people can feel more steady and purposeful in their daily lives.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing painful memories and teaching tools to manage intense reactions. It helps people reduce the hold of past events and practice coping strategies that fit daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes clarifying what matters to you and taking actions that match those values. It uses mindfulness and commitment to help people move toward meaningful goals despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and communication. It supports building steadier ways of relating to others and to oneself.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt trauma-focused and skills-based work to remote sessions while focusing on what is practical for each person.
