About Darrell

Darrell Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 22 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

He draws on a blend of cognitive and humanistic approaches to help clients explore patterns that interfere with wellbeing and rebuild confidence. His work also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and challenges tied to divorce, fatherhood, guilt, and jealousy.

Clarke approaches therapy as a collaborative process rooted in respect for each person’s values and goals. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-oriented and client-centered methods to help clients notice unhelpful thinking, develop practical coping strategies, and align actions with personal values.

The aim is to strengthen self-understanding and personal agency so clients can move toward meaningful change. Sessions are offered in English and fit a range of concerns from everyday stress to deeper relationship wounds.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Clarke commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and relationship-related difficulties. He also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in clarifying values and taking action toward a meaningful life, especially when coping with painful emotions or life transitions. These methods are explained in straightforward language and adapted to each person’s goals.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches as progress unfolds. This shared decision making helps tailor sessions to what each client finds most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing work, family, or geographic constraints, and they allow licensed professionals to provide therapeutic support in ways that fit a client’s life.
