More about Darlene

  • 30 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of New Jersey with over 20 years of experience working as a psycho-counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also work with many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. When you are ready to explore or take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to our work together!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Darlene is a heaven sent angel. She has turned my life around. She believes in me, encourages me, and genuinely cares about me. She does not judge, she adds different perspectives, shes understanding, she allows you to be yourself without any restrictions. She has always been there for me since i started Betterhelp. Honestly i do not know where i would be right now without her. Darlene, you have saved me and i am grateful to have you.

Darlene is empathetic, compassionate, and an amazing active listener. She gets through to the root of the issue and helps you understand things you may not have understood about yourself for years and years. Her style is warm and maternal. I trust her knowledge, and she is not only a skilled therapist but a wonderful human being. I am so glad to have been connected with Darlene.
