More about me

Licensing: LMHC Years in Practice: 9 State: South Carolina

My name is Danielle Poehlman and I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. Many of my family members have suffered from addiction, mental illness and trauma. After losing two older siblings under complicated drug and mental health related circumstances, I decided to become a therapist. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Florida International University with a bachelor's degree in psychology, and obtaining a master's degree in mental health counseling from Capella University, this goal was finally achieved.

Through my own personal growth and educational journey, I have implemented a variety of modalities to facilitate the wholistic healing of mind, body and spirit. I am a Certified Reiki Master with over 20 years of hands-on experience. I am knowledgeable on the concept of Highly Sensitive Persons or HSPs, (also known as Empaths), as I have found a large number of clients can be assisted profoundly with just simple education and practical coping strategies.

My counseling style is motivational and strengths-based. My goal is to utilize profound understanding and my own empathic skills as supplements to psychotherapy in order to assist in the healing process. Through rapport and trust, we will work as a team to tailor treatment plans and therapeutic dialog to suit individual needs. I have assisted clients from a multitude of backgrounds and issues, including addiction, anxiety, grief/loss, abuse, trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship issues (kink-friendly) and more. These issues do not discriminate. Those that appear the strongest often struggle the most. Those that appear joyful sometimes reach the depths of despair. There is no shame in asking for help; it is, in fact, one of the most courageous decisions you will ever make. Please reach out.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Danielle is an excellent therapist. I would highly recommend her.

I’ve adored working with her. She understands when I explain that certain methods don’t work for me or that I need other methods. She works with me to make sure that I get out what needs to get out. I love working with her!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Danielle. She is comforting to talk to and very knowledgeable. She offers wonderful advice that I am able to use in my day to day life and the worksheets are really helpful. Would absolutely recommend her.

Good therapist

Danielle is great!!

I absolutely love Danielle as my therapist. She responds to any message promptly, is available very often for video chat and is so kind. She listens to everything you have to say before responding and always makes you feel like what you have to say matters. Would highly recommend!

Danielle is awesome and will catch you in a thought then challenge it. She’ll work things out with you and give CBT homework. Which perfect for CBT therapy.

Danielle is absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her! She truly listens and tries to get to the root cause of the issues I’m experiencing.

Danielle was understanding, unbiased, encouraging, and kind. Just the person I needed to talk to.

Truly fantastic, most effective therapy I have ever participated in.

Danielle has been incredibly helpful and supportive, and I feel extremely lucky to have her as my therapist. As someone new to therapy, she made me feel comfortable right off the bat, and speaking with her has been a very easy and positive experience. Danielle has helped me learn a lot about myself, healthy relationships, anxiety, depression, and so much more. Her worksheets are also very helpful and she is a responsive, positive, and fun therapist. I couldn’t recommend Danielle enough, she is truly amazing!

Excellent listener. I would recommend to anyone going through trauma.

Danielle has been great to work with and gives me the tools I need to thrive and make my own decisions.

Danielle is great! Really so lucky to have her as my therapist.

I have been working with Danielle for several months now. She does an excellent job of validating me and pushing me to help me achieve my specific goals of therapy. I am grateful for her support.

Have had a dozen+ therapists over 35 years, Danielle is by far the best and most effective.

Hands down the best therapist I've ever encountered over the course of my 41 years. Truly gifted in communication and actually listens to her patient. I actually get excited for our sessions. Very thankful to have her.

Danielle makes me feel understood and listened to in a way no other therapist has. She has helped me get to the root of my issues, and given me great tools to help me protect and strengthen my mental health. I would recommend Danielle to anyone who had struggled with trusting therapists or who is nervous to try therapy.

Danielle is the best therapist I've ever had! She truly understands how to help me and guide me one step at a time to heal and become a better person. The work I've done with her has helped me tremendously and its only been about 5/6 sessions with her. I highly recommend her, she is truly genuine, respectful, and smart in her practice.

Danielle is great. Highly recommend.

I have had many therapists and Danielle is one of the best! she really has a kindness about her that shows so clearly and she is very caring. i would recommend her to anyone, she seems like she truly cares about helping me.

Caring and insightful, a great practitioner all around.

I’m dealing with serious life transitions at the moment. I’d be lost at sea without help. I’m comfortable navigating this sticky life with the help I’ve received from Danielle. So grateful.

Danielle is everything i was looking for in a therapist. she has already helped me so much by just being there and i really like the was she makes things feel casual yet important

Empathetic, direct, and knowledgeable, a great experience.

danielle is amazing! great listener and she truly cares. highly recommend!

Danielle is great! Highly recommend

Danielle is an excellent therapist. She listens and responds with empathy and understanding. She works with you on your terms and it was clear to me she wasn't just trying to fit me into her agenda, she's actually trying to help people.

She is wonderful, and great at keeping the conversation going when it’s clear that I’ve run out of things to say. I appreciate her help and hope that you find her as wonderful as I do!

Danielle is a wonderful therapist and an equally wonderful human being. She is a wonderful, patient, and understanding listener who takes pride and passion in her job. She's helped me realize many things about myself and helped me move forward with my life. I cannot give her anything but the highest regard, and I hope you are fortunate enough to have her as your counselor.

I have been working with Danielle for I believe a year at this point. She has helped me greatly. Its amazing how much growth has occurred with her guidance and I am so so thankful. She is honest and tells me what I need to hear instead of sugar coating and I greatly appreciate that. So much more I could say but I wouldn’t trade her for anyone else!

Personally, I find that Danielle has been fantastic and very understanding. That's why I have returned. I'd recommend this program and her to anyone that asks.

Danielle is a great therapist. Highly recommend!

She is very patient and supportive I always feel like when I need it most she is willing to talk . After every session I always feel better and my desire to tackle the day becomes much stronger.

Danielle is great. She listens and she’s compassionate

Since I started with Danielle, I feel like I have grown tremendously. She really has allowed me a platform to get my feelings out there. She works with me to work through my inner thoughts. I am very lucky to have been paired up with Danielle. She has been wonderful to work with.

Danielle is gentle, kind, and patient. She listens to understand and keeps me focused. I appreciate what we’ve done already and we’re just getting started.

She's a good listener and gives out helpful homework to fix a situation.

I have had nothing but new and uncomfortable situations pop up into my life. Being new to diving into my feelings and learning what it means to be so sensitive. I don’t know how I would have handled all of these situations without outside perspective. Danielle is amazing.

She is absolutely wonderful and great at keying in and understanding what needs to be said if you aren’t sure how it came out!

Danielle was an amazing person and help in my life the last few months in more ways than I can describe! I whole heartedly recommend her to anybody.

Danielle is a really phenomenal therapist. Highly recommend.

Danielle is the absolute best. We’ve been working together for about 9 months now. I reached out to her after some serious family trauma, and as soon as I spoke to her the first time, I knew I was in good hands. She has helped me work through so much…childhood trauma, grief, loss, relationship issues, career struggles, self esteem issues, and a bevy of newly diagnosed mental health disorders. It was actually thanks to her guidance that I was able to get my diagnoses in the first place… If you get the chance to work with Danielle, recognize that you are working with one of the best mental health professionals in the world. I’m so happy, fortunate, and grateful to have her in my corner.

I have finished my last therapy session with Danielle, and I couldn't have asked for a better and more positive experience when entering therapy. Danielle was a patient listener, she would gently guide me towards realizations I needed to make without being forceful, and her therapy exercises had a point and were helpful to my needs. I had full and complete trust in her the entire time, and if I ever needed to re-enter therapy at any point, she is the one I would trust with my continued help and guidance. Thank you for everything, Danielle.

Danielle, She Truly has shown me what a good therapist is like. I really feel heard, cared for and shes been very helpful for me in some of my most challenging times. Im super thankful for her. I was scared to change therapists when my last one was simply not doing her Job or supporting me properly (I know for sure this was that case after finding Danielle) but Im so happy I made the change and Im beyond grateful to work with her.

Danielle helped me deal with anxiety, boundary issues, and procrastination. Her insight and calming demeanor made her easy to talk to. I'm grateful for her expertise. She helped me find the tools to continue to take on obstacles confidently.

I feel being in good hands and fell being understood after just one sesssion.

I have been grateful for my time working with Danielle. Would highly recommend.

So far it has been awesome. Having someone who doesn’t know me in person, to let out my issues and feelings that I have. Then to get feedback from an expert is much more satisfying to hear than just a friend saying, “it will be okay.” Can’t wait to see where the sessions take us and help relive the anxieties I have.

I’ve had a few therapists and Danielle is by far my favorite. She actually listens to me and seems really attuned to my issues. I feel like I have someone there for me whenever I need to talk something out, which I’ve never felt with a therapist before. She has been so patient with me and it’s been such an amazing experience working with her. I really can’t say enough good things about her.

I truly appreciate Ms. Poehlman. She is very present and sincere. I am so grateful.

I think she’s amazing and very helpful. Very responsive.

Danielle makes me feel like I have someone routing for me in my corner. She is also wonderful with guiding me towards healthier coping skills to handle my anxiety attacks when they do come. I’m grateful to have been paired with her for counseling. It’s made all the difference for me to have someone who I can blurt out all that is in my head to without judgement. Her more laidback style helps me feel more comfortable and less like I’m in a therapist office being nervous to even speak. If you’re lucky enough to be matched with her you will see your outlook on life start to improve and your skills to fight negative thoughts and have more tools to cope with what is happening around you or just in your mind that you’ve needed to face and heal from.

Danielle is amazing. She is patient, understanding, intuitive, and extremely helpful in and out of sessions. She has helped me through the toughest stretch of time I’ve ever dealt with, and I couldn’t sing her praises highly enough. BetterHelp is lucky to have her…her clients are too

My relationship with Danielle is still new and she has already helped me tremendously but I feel like we are still at the beginning, at the start of my journey so I still have a lot to learn and work through and I’m really optimistic about Danielle helping me with my journey

Danielle has been incredibly supportive and helpful. Would highly recommend her as a therapist!

Thanks for all your support these past months!

Danielle is so patient and helpful. Very understanding and, most importantly, zero judgement.

So far, Danielle has been extremely receptive to my input and has gotten me to buy into the process. She asks questions that I haven't explored before and is open to feedback. Very kind and understanding

Although I recently just started with Danielle. I find that she is very understanding and really listens to what I have to say. I look forward to more sessions with her

Danielle is supportive by taking into account who I am, how I think, and what's going to work for me. She offers up new ways for me to change my thought patterns and has many options if something doesn't seem to be working for me. She's respectful, caring, and great at keeping me grounded in reality (rather than my skewed perspective of things)!

Danielle was great. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Working with Danielle has been so good. She’s given me the tools to help myself and I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress. I hope that if you find yourselves working with her, you can find some of the same solace I have. :)

Very understanding

Danielle is wonderful. A great listener, and always knows the right questions to ask. I've only been with her for a brief time and she's already helped me get into a much better psychological place. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Danielle has changed my life. She is a godsend. She helped me with tools so I could better myself and they worked! I would recommend her to everyone and I have!

She’s awesome

So enjoy talking with her. She’s positive, responsive, give great feed back. And I feel is in my corner.

Danielle is by far one of the most supportive therapists I’ve ever had. I truly feel like she’s there for me and she’s rooting for me.

Danielle has been so proactive in my growth. She has been a great listening ear. As a counselor, I believe she has all the potential and capabilities of providing sound advice without intervening in the decision process of her clients. As it should be.

Danielle is a wonderful counselor who shows a genuine interest in her clients. She is easy to talk to, listens to my individual concerns, and makes me feel heard. I wasn't sure that online counseling would be as effective as in-person sessions, but Danielle was patient and answered all of my questions through the process, and I have found that it is just as effective (if not more so) than live sessions. Plus, she is very responsive to messaging when I need some extra advice between sessions. I highly recommend Danielle as a counselor.

Danielle is the best! Weekly venting and problem solving has me turning my life around for the better! She promotes self care, she's easy to talk to and has great advice.

Danielle is seriously amazing. She is so kind-hearted and helpful. I am very grateful to have had her in my journey.

Danielle has been a big help in my discovery of some of the things that I didn’t know were affecting my mental health.

Danielle has helped me tremendously in building my self-respect, self-esteem, confidence, and so much more.

Danielle is my fav. She is patient, kind and very easy to talk to. I really enjoy our talks and she has been helping me tremendously. Thank you Danielle!

Danielle has been a great help to me and has helped me to cope with a narcissistic parent. She is a genuine person with a huge heart and an open mind and I would recommend her to anyone struggling with depression, anxiety, and difficult relationships.

I have been battling depression and anxiety for years and have been slowly becoming out of control with my feelings. Danielle has made me identify the biggest concerns and has allowed me to see the positive. I am a much better person, teacher, daughter and mother because of her

Danielle is absolutely wonderful. She is insightful and encouraging, and I couldn't be happier with the work I've done so far with her. You'll be in good hands if she is assigned to you. She responds as soon as she is able, and is willing to give her all for her patients. Highly recommended.

Danielle has been amazing. Very understanding and resourceful.

Very professional and understanding therapist. I've been through many therapists on BetterHelp and this was the ONLY one that was able to help me. BetterHelp should use her as the bar for which other therapist on this platform strive to be like. Thanks Danielle.

Danielle is kind, considerate, and she genuinely cares. She is there when you need her most and always ready to help however she can. She’s very understanding, non-judgmental, and very knowledgeable in all aspects of mental health and self care.

Between taking the time to do the things you suggested, having someone read my mind, it's been a good experience for me. I've been able to think more clearly and it's been invaluable to me. Thank you.

Just getting started but I feel very comfortable with her. She is very understanding and helpful.
