About Pascale
Pascale Dellefield is a California LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 21 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma, and the stresses of life change. Pascale works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures like career and relationship choices, identity questions, and coping with transitions.
She uses practical, skills-based approaches such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior methods, and solution-focused work. Sessions often include reading and short skill-building homework to reinforce what was discussed. Pascale describes meditation and mindfulness as tools she uses to support recovery from trauma and to reduce persistent stress.
Pascale has worked in a wide range of settings and with diverse life experiences. She notes experience with homelessness, serious mental health conditions, and people affected by loss and compassion fatigue. Her background includes travel and living in multiple countries, and she draws on an awareness of cultural and spiritual concerns in therapy.
She conducts therapy in English and brings a person-centered stance to conversation and planning. Pascale aims to help clients reconnect with what matters to them and to build realistic steps toward better daily functioning. The pace and focus are set together so goals fit a client's life and obligations.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The first meetings focus on clarifying immediate concerns, practical coping steps, and whether ongoing work should emphasize skills practice, mindfulness, or solution-focused strategies.
How Pascale uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than techniques. It involves listening, reflecting, and shaping goals together so sessions fit what a person values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides hands-on tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful when strong feelings get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pascale will review what is most useful based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made, mixing mindfulness, skills practice, and solution-focused steps as needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing homework, practicing mindfulness exercises, and reviewing CBT tools can all be adapted to remote sessions. Confirm current session options to choose what suits your routine.
