Danielle Poehlman, LPC, LMHC

Danielle Poehlman is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling after studying psychology at Florida International University, and she practices with a motivational, strengths-based approach. Danielle decided to become a therapist after personal family losses related to addiction and mental health, which shaped her interest in helping people who face similar struggles.

She draws on a variety of approaches to support emotional healing for stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and grief. Danielle also helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, codependency, attachment concerns, and challenges tied to caregiving and career stress. Her work includes attention to sexual diversity and kink-friendly relationship conversations when clients bring those topics into sessions.

Danielle focuses on building trust and practical skills. She uses motivational conversations and strength-focused work to help people set goals and take steps toward them. Cognitive and behavioral strategies are used when people need concrete tools for managing mood, sleep, anger, or attention difficulties.

Her background includes experience with complex presentations such as co-morbidity, dissociation, and personality-related patterns, along with specific concerns like abandonment or adoption and foster care history. She aims to tailor treatment plans and therapeutic dialogue to each person’s needs through collaborative work.

How Danielle Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps people feel heard so they can decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills for mood, sleep, anxiety, and attention problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skill training in managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle collaborates with each person to pick methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. She may blend strategies so someone learns skills, gains motivation, and feels supported while making changes.

The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from different locations or time zones. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to what fits into someone’s day, which helps therapy feel practical and usable.
