About Danielle

Danielle Poehlman is a licensed counselor who came into the field after close family experiences with addiction and mental health struggles. She holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling and brings nine years of clinical experience. Danielle practices from South Carolina and uses a motivational, strengths-based style in sessions.

She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Background and approach

She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, LGBT issues, grief, sleep problems, anger, career stress, and attention-related difficulties. Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care topics, codependency, and dissociation. In sessions Danielle uses several evidence-informed methods.

She integrates client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to each person. She also employs cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing and narrative work are part of her toolkit too.

Her approach is conversational and hopeful. Danielle aims to build trust quickly and create a treatment plan with each client. She favors concrete coping tools alongside space to process painful experiences.

The goal is steady, manageable changes rather than overnight fixes. Danielle offers therapy in English and is able to work with international clients. Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with multiple remote formats available.

Therapeutic methods and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and builds a supportive space so clients can name goals and make changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practice new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or routine problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, handling crises, and improving relationships. It is often used when intense mood swings or difficulty tolerating stress are present.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Danielle collaborates with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try tools, adjust strategies, and track what helps most so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work when travel or caregiving makes in-person visits difficult. Remote formats also allow for short check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and flexible timing to support steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
