More about me

Years in Practice: 23 State: Louisiana

I am a family and marriage therapist with over 20 years of experience. I have experience in working with singles, married couples, teens and the elderly. I am here to help you, knowing that reaching out for help is not always easy. I am an open-ended listener who gives you the opportunity to express yourself in a nonjudgmental environment. I have helped many get through their trials and tribulations. My idea of therapy is not to erase what you've been through but, to offer an environment where you can express any and all experiences and voice how you can move forward. My goal is to help you grow in all aspects of life, it's not always easy being vulnerable which is why I offer my support and aid in all experiences that you have and will go through.

I hope to meet you soon!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Darlene was wonderful. She definitely made an impact on me.

Oct 11, 2022

Overall

I always thought that therapy was not for me, I have spent years trying to figure out my thoughts on my own telling everyone and anyone everything about me. Darlene gives me a safe space to talk about my life and my concerns and always gives me solutions to anything that I am dealing with. I have made so much progress in a short amount of time; the sessions I have had carry me throughout my day to day life and I have found new ways to cope that I didn’t even know existed. I know love therapy, it’s hard but I know I am growing each and everyday. She is patient and understanding, and makes you feel comfortable when talking with her.
