About Darlene
Her approach blends several methods to fit each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to values-based action.

Darlene describes herself as an open-ended listener who offers a nonjudgmental setting for honest conversation. She aims to help people grow rather than erase past experiences. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill building, and planning for real-life situations.
She has supported people through grief, parenting strain, career changes, and chronic stress across many years of practice. Her background includes work with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Darlene brings steady, patient attention and helps clients break down problems into manageable pieces.
Based in Louisiana, she communicates in English and accepts international clients. Her goal is to help people find clearer direction and more workable daily routines. To start, she guides clients through a few questions and then schedules sessions according to availability.

The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep continuity during life changes. Others like being able to check in with a shorter session when schedules are tight or to use video when they prefer face-to-face conversation. A shared discussion about goals and logistics helps determine the best way to proceed.
