About Darrell
Darrell Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 22 years of experience. He works with people who bring stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Sessions address issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, and the fallout from separation and infidelity.
He uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. Clients can expect clear steps to try between meetings, plus time to reflect on what’s working. Conversations focus on patterns that keep problems repeating and on small changes that make daily life more manageable.
Darrell draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without being driven by them. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they fit, to calm reactivity and improve focus.
His approach includes client-centered and existential perspectives that prioritize the person’s values and choices. That means identifying what matters most and aligning actions with those priorities. He talks about responsibility, meaning, and practical moves forward rather than abstract theories.
Sessions commonly address relationship themes like trust, commitment, codependency, jealousy, and communication problems. He also works with issues tied to fatherhood, family dynamics, guilt and shame, and managing control or dependent personality patterns. People looking for step-by-step ways to reduce anxiety and rebuild confidence often find this practical emphasis helpful.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and learning to act in line with personal values rather than being driven by every worry. It can help when anxiety or avoidance keeps someone from doing things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress and anxiety and for improving communication in relationships.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Darrell will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That means sessions can include short experiments, values work, or thought-challenging exercises depending on what the client needs and wants.

It also supports using practical tools at home, like breathing or mindfulness exercises, and makes it easier to apply new skills in real-life situations.
