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.

Danielle has been the best therapist Ive spoken to in my journey. She listens and asks the right questions to bring out issues that you may not even be a part of the problem.

I can honestly say that Danielle Poehlman is the best therapist I’ve ever had, and I’ve been going to therapy for over 10 years now. I’ve heard that a lot of therapy is trial and error to find the right fit, and if that’s true, then I’ve finally found my perfect match thanks to BetterHelp! Danielle is kind, always makes herself available when needed, really listens to what I say, offers great advice and worksheets (but doesn’t pressure me to do them all right away and lets me go at my own pace), and if she ever needs to reschedule or is running a few minutes behind, then she always communicates, and she never rushes a session with me. Thank you so much, Danielle, and also to BetterHelp for matching us up on the first try!
