About Danielle
Danielle Behrens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and the everyday strains of parenting and family life. Danielle aims to help people who feel stuck by focusing on practical steps and clearer thinking.
Her approach combines several evidence-informed methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice values and take actions that matter to them. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and past losses are affecting present choices.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Danielle listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try different responses in small steps. She works on communication, coping skills, and handling big emotions such as anger or grief. Practical tools for sleep, eating concerns, and managing attention difficulties are often part of the work.
Danielle also supports people dealing with addictive behaviors, caregiver stress, and identity-related concerns. She can help adults cope with adoption or foster care questions, abandonment issues, and blended family tensions. Her background includes long-term work with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and co-occurring conditions.
People who choose to work with her can expect goal-focused sessions that combine understanding with concrete strategies. For those starting out she asks about current struggles and what a useful next step would look like.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Danielle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and routines that get stuck. She also works with acceptance and commitment therapy which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter even when emotions are difficult. That approach can help with motivation, stress, and managing chronic issues.Attachment-informed work appears when relationship patterns or past losses affect current functioning. This approach looks at how past bonds shape responses and helps people try different ways of relating. Danielle treats the choice of approach as a shared decision and adjusts methods based on the person’s goals, situation, and what they find useful in early sessions.
