About Danielle

Danielle Behrens is a licensed professional counselor with 26 years of experience helping adults facing sleep difficulties, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She works with people coping with trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and stress. Danielle focuses on practical steps people can use right away to get better sleep, manage emotions, and regain a sense of control.

She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Danielle listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. Therapy often includes practicing new habits, attention to thinking patterns, and building routines that support rest and daily functioning.

Her background blends several evidence-informed approaches. Danielle uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and reframe them. She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people decide what matters most and take small steps toward those values.

Attachment-based work is used to look at how past relationships affect current patterns, especially around intimacy and trust. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be introduced to handle intense emotions and reduce impulsive behaviors that interfere with sleep and relationships.

Danielle aims to make change feel manageable. She helps people break problems into small actions, track progress, and adjust plans when life gets in the way. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on real-world results.

Based in Wisconsin, she offers therapy in English and supports clients who want help with sleeping, stress, relationships, parenting challenges, and workplace strain. Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing the site matching steps to see if she is a good fit.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values. It can be useful for sleep struggles that tie to worry, rumination, or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and habits that disrupt sleep and daily routines. It often includes step-by-step experiments and planning to adjust behaviors that interfere with rest.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may start with short experiments and adjustments, so clients can see what helps before committing to a single path.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people choose audio-only or shorter appointments for quick support. Talk with the therapist about which setup would best support sleep routines, emotion regulation practice, and follow-up between sessions.
