More about Darlyn

Welcome! I provide individual therapy to adults dealing with a variety of challenges including: anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions/adjustment issues, complex trauma, and attachment issues. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you have been in therapy before, it is important to choose a therapist that you feel connected to and has experience in treating the areas that align with your needs.

Therapy is an intimate experience, a collaboration between you and the therapist. I take that role seriously and understand that to do my best work, I need to understand each client holistically. I feel like my biggest asset is the ability to see a client's strengths, empower them to achieve their goals, and support them throughout the therapeutic process

Therapy helps uncover strengths and learn new skills that will allow you to deal with the challenges that arise in life. A successful therapy experience does not mean a person is cured, it means the person has the inner and outer resources to deal with the ups and downs of life. My goal is to help you develop the skills necessary to successfully deal with life, on your own terms.

With warmth, compassion, and a bit of humor, I aim to create a safe, supportive environment to help foster personal growth and healing.

I have experience working in a variety of settings including outpatient, Telehealth therapy , and schools. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and approved Clinical Supervisor.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

I’ve met with Darlyn for several months now and although I was reluctant at first to seek professional help, she made a world of a difference in my life and I’m so grateful for it! She extremely responsive, real and is amazing at what she does. I can’t thank her enough.

Reviewed May 2021

I tried therapy before and I felt like I didn't get much out of it or I felt like they didn't really care for me or my situation. Then I was set up with Darlyn and it has been life changing. I'm not very religious but I feel like Darlyn is like a guardian angel guiding me through my thoughts and emotions leading me to a place of peace.

Im gonna make this simple. Shes the best. She listens and has great advice. I feel like she cares about me and my situation.

Reviewed April 2021

Ive always known and told myself that therapy will help no matter who you are. A lot of people see therapy as something scary or meaning there's something wrong with them and i couldn't disagree more. Especially with Darlyn's help; she has made me see and look at things in a new perspective and light. I am in a much better place mentally and emotionally after a few months of seeing her and am glad i did. You can tell she really cares and wants what's best for you.

Darlyn "got me" from day one. I tried therapy 3 previous time and never really clicked with the process or therapist. My inability to cope with my feelings and circumstances brought me to Better Help and to Darlyn - and I am so grateful for it. Darlyn listens, understands, validates, but also challenges me and reminds me of the process and the self-work involved in therapy that only I can do. So grateful to have her!

We have only had one session for 30 min. So far it has been great to have someone to talk to and who gives me tools and information to help me with some of the issue I am experiencing.

Reviewed January 2021

Darlyn has changed my life in a very short amount of time. I had never participated in counseling before, but with Darlyn’s support I went from feeling stuck and anxious to having courage to initiate changes in my life, both minuscule and drastic. She offers incredible perspective and asks great thought-provoking questions. Chatting with her via messaging and our weekly sessions has become a great support system and I would 10/10 recommend her to everyone I know.

Reviewed November 2020

This was my first experience with counseling and I am so happy to have been matched with Darlyn Martinez. Darlyn is supportive and understanding and I feel like I was really listened to. Darlyn would interrupt a thought pattern that I kept repeating to myself and help me re-frame my thinking. I highly recommend Darlyn for her friendly but firm hand in addressing situations.

Reviewed August 2020

Darlyn Martinez is so personable and she really digs deep to understand the root of the problem. She listens well and she’s so easy to talk to. I always look forward video-chatting her. Since working with Darlyn, I have been successful in personal growth.

Darlyn is AMAZING! She has a way of making you feel like you are chatting with a friend not a counselor. Tell her what you want to accomplish and she is there to support you. She helps by setting goals, giving great advice and a different perspective to make you stop and evaluate things you talk about. Thanks Darlyn!
