About Danielle
Danielle Poehlman is a licensed professional counselor with nine years of experience.

She earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Florida International University and a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University.
Background and approach
Her background includes longterm work with people facing addiction, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and relationship concerns. Danielle also brings knowledge about highly sensitive people and practical coping strategies that often help quickly. Danielle describes her style as motivational and strengths-based.
She focuses on building rapport and trust first. Then she and the person work as a team to make a plan that fits that person’s needs and life. In sessions she uses narrative therapy along with client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and motivational interviewing approaches.
That mix lets her adapt to goals like reducing anxiety, managing addictive behaviors, improving sleep, or coping with major life changes. She has worked with people dealing with depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues, including kink-friendly relationship topics.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Danielle directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and skills-based work online
Danielle uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative work looks at how events are named and understood and helps separate a person from the problem so new options become visible. It often helps with trauma, identity concerns, and relationship patterns.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and empathy to help people feel heard and understood. That approach supports building trust and clarifying personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in sessions when practical changes are the goal - identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors for clearer results.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Danielle works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn’t helping and adjusts the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that helps, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing written work. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent momentum in therapy.
