About Darrell
Darrell Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and difficulties after divorce or separation.
Darrell uses a mix of practical therapy methods aimed at change and understanding. He draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. He also uses client-centered and existential ideas to explore values, meaning, and what matters most to each person.
In sessions he talks through relationship patterns, trust and intimacy questions, and the effects of attachment styles on current relationships. He helps people who struggle with control issues, dependent personality traits, or repeated jealousy and infidelity problems. He also supports fathers and those dealing with family conflict and forgiveness issues.
His work often includes mindfulness techniques and tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to handle difficult feelings without getting stuck. He describes therapy as collaborative and expects the person to take an active role in making changes. Practical skills and clear, short-term goals are commonly part of the process.
Darrell asks clients to be ready to do the work outside sessions as well. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial meeting to clarify goals and a plan.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Darrell frequently incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and act in ways that match their values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about relationships.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns that keep problems going and to practice different responses. CBT is often applied to anxiety, self-esteem issues, and repetitive relationship behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying practical exercises, adjusting techniques, and checking progress together rather than insisting on one single method.
