About me

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.

Best therapist I’ve ever encountered

Written on Nov 26, 2024 after therapy with Danielle for 2 weeks on issues concerning trauma and abuse

Danielle has been a great help to me. From helping to put life goals in perpective to helping manage my depression and my anxiety.

Written on Oct 30, 2024 after therapy with Danielle for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, lgbt, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching, and adhd

Overall very positive experience so far with Danielle. I am usually quite tentative with first few sessions and Danielle very quickly made me comfortable and eased my mind about the whole experience.

Danielle has been nothing but a breath of fresh air from the therapists I've tried throughout my life. Not only is she understanding, respectful, professional, and attentive, but she also makes me feel heard and acknowledged. I would definitely recommend BetterHelp, as well as Danielle Poehlman if you're looking for a therapist that actually cares, gives feedback, and also gives weekly worksheets. 10/10

I’ve only been working with Danielle for a few weeks, but she has been very helpful so far. She is very respectful and understanding. I have BPD so sometimes I’m really overwhelmed and angry and she does a good job of talking to me calmly and giving me good advice. She is patient and gives me assignments to work on each week. I’m beginning to see some small improvements in my behavior and mood.

My first session with Danielle was perfect! She was open minded and kind. She helped me feel comfortable opening up and offered support to ease discomfort while discussing difficult things. I look forward to my next session with her and her help and guidance to find my mental wellness sweet spot :)
