Danielle Poehlman, LPC, LMHC

Danielle Poehlman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC). She brings nine years of clinical experience and a personal connection to addiction and trauma recovery that shaped her decision to become a therapist. Danielle blends practical strategies with a strengths-focused outlook to help people find steadier footing during hard times.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Florida International University, graduating Magna Cum Laude, and completed a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University. Her background includes long experience as a Reiki practitioner, which she blends with talk therapy when clients find that helpful.

Danielle uses a motivational and strengths-based counseling style. She works to build rapport quickly and listens for each person’s priorities. Together with a client she tailors treatment plans and therapy conversations to fit real-life goals and situations.

Her clinical approaches include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. She often combines these methods to address anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns including intimacy and kink-related issues.

Danielle also helps people who identify as highly sensitive and offers practical coping strategies for daily life. She supports people managing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, ADHD-related challenges, and the stress that comes with caregiving or career changes. If you want a collaborative, empathetic therapist who listens and adapts, she may be a fit.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and helps people set goals based on their own values, which can guide online sessions just as well as in-person meetings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress, and sessions typically include concrete exercises and homework to try between meetings.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is often helpful when people struggle with big emotions, impulsive behavior, or intense relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That plan can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions and use client-centered conversation to focus on what matters most in day-to-day life.
