Therapists in Miramar, FL
Living with the stress of day-to-day life, and dealing with difficult transitions, many of us can use the support of therapy at one point or another. When it comes to finding a therapist, Miramar FL, with its convenient location in the greater Miami metropolitan area may be a better place to look than most. But even in a highly populated city, finding the right therapist for you may not be so easy.
When it comes to psychotherapy, there are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches available, and they don’t all work the same way. If you’re feeling anxious due to unprocessed trauma, but the nearby group practice specializes in family counseling, it’s not going to necessarily be the best match. What you need may not be available close by. Not to mention that it may be difficult to find a licensed psychotherapist in your area that’s taking new patients.
That’s where online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp can be of service. BetterHelp offers access to over 30,000 mental health professionals such as psychologists, social workers, and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC). These providers specialize in a variety of different areas, and have experience working with diverse populations. By filling out an online questionnaire, BetterHelp will connect you with a therapist who meets your individual needs. And because therapeutic alliance can be so essential to the success of the therapeutic process, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy with a licensed professional counselor from BetterHelp can be a convenient option, as well. Many busy professionals, students, and parents find that online sessions can fit into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
If you live in Miramar, in the surrounding Fort Lauderdale or Pembroke Pines area and have been thinking about therapy for any reason, there’s no better time to get started. Whether you’re dealing with a difficult life transition, want to learn stress management skills, or are interested in seeking personal growth, contact BetterHelp to get started on your wellness journey.

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.

I have been a practicing social worker for more than 30 years . Much of this experience has been working in a large public teaching hospital in Miami, Florida. The scope of service that the hospital provides is quite comprehensive which afforded me opportunities to work with a very diverse population . i have counseled patients and their families dealing with a variety of illnesses, both physical and mental health, survivors of sexual assault, and also providing counseling to patients in a correctional setting. I like challenging situations. My style of counseling is very eclectic, depends on the client and their unique set of problems. This can range from client centered, solution oriented or cognitive behavioral as many people are coming to therapy to learn new ways of thinking and alternative coping strategies. given some of the events of the past year, many people are experiencing additional stressors, particularly the LGBTQ community and am very interested in providing services to this population. I am looking forward to learning along with you.
