About Darlene

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes women's wellness and empowerment, particularly during life transitions and adjustments, and includes attention to boundaries, attachment patterns, parenting and co-parenting, and LGBTQIA+ wellness.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them, then clarify values and take committed actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, life changes, and challenges like ADHD when the focus is on usable strategies rather than eliminating discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, making it a good match for depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and emotion regulation work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. This therapist treats the selection of methods as collaborative, exploring a client's needs, goals, and preferences to blend ACT, CBT, attachment-informed work, and mindfulness practices when helpful. The clinician aims to adapt techniques over time so the plan evolves with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and maintain continuity during transitions. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and tailor contact styles to what helps each person engage and grow.
