Danielle Poehlman, LPC, LMHC

Danielle Poehlman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She became a therapist after personal losses in her family related to addiction and mental health, and she brings that life experience into her work. Danielle aims to create a respectful space where people can be honest about hard things without shame.

Danielle uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. She draws from client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thinking and dialectical strategies to manage strong emotions and build better coping skills.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Florida International University and a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University. She also practices Reiki and has long personal experience working with people who identify as highly sensitive or empathic. These interests inform how she supports clients rather than replacing talk therapy.

Danielle’s style is motivating and strengths-based. She focuses on building trust and working together to set practical goals. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs, whether the focus is addiction, anxiety, grief, trauma, mood concerns, relationship issues, or life transitions.

She works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, stress, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, intimacy-related matters, and grief. Danielle accepts international clients and offers services from South Carolina as an LPC and as an LMHC in Florida.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Danielle commonly draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and understood as they set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and patterns linked to addiction.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness when strong feelings get in the way. These skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions to build steady change over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Danielle will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pace and tools as clients learn what helps them most.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also makes ongoing work possible for people in different locations, while the therapist and client agree on the practical details that suit their routine.
