More about Darlene
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I decided to become a counselor because I care about others, I'm a good listener and people seem to open up to me easily. These natural skills combined with the education and knowledge gained through study and training, combine to provide an opportunity to facilitate healing. I specialize in depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, substance abuse and trauma. I am EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and CBT trained. I use Person-centered approach to honor the person sitting in front of me as the authority of their life. I address the client's concern(s) using Solution Focused approach, which minimizes the amount of time required to process the concern and develop a resolution.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s very professional, and listens to my concerns, she helps by providing me ways to better my situations
Darlene is a great therapist. Her approach is gentle but effective, and she's deeply compassionate. I'd recommend her to anyone looking to overcome difficult times.
She is Understanding and empathetic towards my specific situation Of child, loss and instability, and my former identity More or less having CPTSD, Darlene gets it. I have been to a lot of therapist who have not. She is giving me real world applications to handle flashbacks, and overwhelming emotions. Talking to her makes me feel 100 and I mean 100 times better. I look forward to every session because I know I will learn something new.
She listens when I need her to listen and she talks when I need her to talk. Sends things to read, worksheets to complete and takes the time to read and respond to any instant messages I send.

Darlene has been instrumental to my personal growth
Darlene really helped me with my mental health issues. She was not only a therapist but also a friend, with that being said, I was very comfortable in opening up to her.
She is the kindest and understanding person in the world. The mix of her empathy and her expertise in treating and solving the problems are incredible. She keeps her focus on your goal and helps you reach them. I had so many "click" moments wither her where everything just made sense. Thank you!
The best therapist I have had in my life. Never, stayed with the same therapist for that long. It has been more than a year so far and I am so happy with the growth I am going through. She helped me with my addiction and I have been sober for more than 10 months, and helped me with other issues I had related to thoughts, feeling, and accepting who I am. I am very thankful to her and grateful for having her as my therapist!
