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.

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 :)

Danielle is an amazing therapist and I’m grateful to have met her. After only two sessions I feel at ease and able to talk freely with her.

Danielle has been great so far. Awesome questioning and letting my answers come as organically as possible. Trying to stay in contact, even with a 3hr difference in time. Allowing for later sessions as well is super amazing from her

We have only just started our therapy journey together, but I feel like Danielle built a solid foundation of trust and understanding right from the start. She is so good at asking solid questions to get me thinking about what it is I need, and provides lots of opportunity for me to work on developing the skills I need to build.

From my first meeting with Danielle I felt comfortable. She is a very genuine person and she feels safe. I also like that she sends me some great resources and that she prompts me to think about the issues and then helps me to navigate them. Greatly appreciative of her.
