About Danielle
Danielle Poehlman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She practices from South Carolina and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Sessions address practical problems like sleep, anger, career stress, and coping with life changes.
Poehlman draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered methods and dialectical behavior strategies. She uses direct, motivational techniques and narrative work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Sessions focus on skills and small experiments that can be used between meetings.
Her personal background includes family experiences with addiction and mental health struggles, which influenced her path into counseling after completing a master’s degree in mental health counseling. Danielle also holds training as a Reiki practitioner and uses that perspective when clients request it.
She pays attention to sensitivity traits sometimes called Highly Sensitive Persons and offers straightforward education and coping strategies for people who identify with those experiences. The approach emphasizes strengths and practical steps rather than abstract theory.
In sessions she aims to build rapport and plan work together with each person. Treatment plans and the pace of therapy are decided collaboratively. People come for a range of concerns including grief, bipolar and depressive symptoms, ADHD-related struggles, and kink-friendly relationship issues.
How Danielle Uses Structured Approaches Online
Danielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered methods in her work. CBT focuses on noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts, then practicing different behaviors and coping strategies to reduce distress. Client-centered techniques prioritize listening and reflecting so people can clarify goals and take steps that fit their situation.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when needed. DBT provides concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Danielle will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that best match those goals and preferences. Progress is tracked through practical exercises and small, measurable steps rather than vague promises.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on high-stress days, and reduce travel time so people can plan therapy around work or family commitments. Therapists and licensed professionals typically adapt homework, skill practice, and check-ins to work well over remote sessions.
