About Danielle

Danielle Behrens is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face anger, trauma, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and stress. Danielle helps people who are struggling with relationship strain, career pressure, parenting stress, and identity questions.

Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear skills and honest conversation rather than jargon. She uses exercises and real-world practice so clients can test new ways of reacting between appointments.

Danielle draws from several evidence-informed approaches to guide her work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for managing strong emotions and building distress tolerance.

Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at relationship patterns and repeated cycles of conflict. Client-Centered Therapy principles keep the work focused on each person’s pace and priorities. Together these methods aim to reduce reactive anger and increase thoughtful responses.

She also addresses related issues like addiction, sleep or eating concerns, grief, and chronic illness. Practical goals often include improving communication, reducing impulsive responses, and rebuilding trust with others. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and the formats offered.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice unhelpful thoughts without getting controlled by them and clarifies what matters so actions align with personal values. It can help with ongoing anger that comes from feeling stuck or flooded by thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and behavior cycles that keep anger reactive. It uses practical exercises and homework to test different ways of thinking and responding in everyday situations.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools are useful when strong emotions lead to impulsive reactions or damaged interactions at work or home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to emphasize based on specific goals, preferences, and how triggers show up in daily life. That selection can shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when days are hectic. It also lets clients practice skills in the settings where difficulties arise, then bring observations back to sessions for adjustments.
