About Darnella

Work typically includes identifying patterns that keep problems going, learning concrete ways to manage intense feelings, and rehearsing new behaviors between sessions. Progress is tracked in simple, measurable ways.
Her background includes nearly a decade of clinical work with adults facing major life transitions and past trauma. She applies methods supported by research while adapting them to each person’s needs. Darnella uses her LPC training to guide assessments and treatment planning.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions involve
Two evidence-based techniques often used are cognitive-behavioral strategies and trauma-focused work. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thinking and teach practical tools for managing anxiety and depression. Trauma-focused work supports processing difficult memories and reducing their impact on daily life.The right approach is usually determined together. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences, then suggest specific techniques to try. Clients and therapist check in on what helps and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the work collaborative.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be scheduled and conducted.
