About Pascale

Pascale Dellefield is a California LMFT with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma, grief, and related concerns.

She uses practical talk and skills work to help people reconnect with what matters to them. Sessions often include mindfulness and meditation practices alongside cognitive tools. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies and solution-focused steps to manage intense emotions and set achievable goals.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with a wide range of issues, from mood disorders and trauma to compassion fatigue and homelessness. She has experience supporting people through major life changes and with complex diagnoses such as schizophrenia spectrum and bipolar conditions. Her work reflects years of direct practice rather than theoretical summaries.

Pascale integrates reading and home practice into many plans so skills learned in sessions can be used between meetings. She brings attention to cultural and spiritual perspectives and acknowledges the challenges immigrants and people from diverse backgrounds may face. She conducts therapy in English.

Her approach is practical and focused on building coping tools. Clients can expect clear techniques, space to talk through problems, and step-by-step strategies for daily life. The focus is on manageable skills that fit into day-to-day routines.

How Pascale’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making room for what matters to the client, helping them voice concerns and set priorities in their own words. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, useful when intense feelings or relationship conflict are present.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation shapes the plan and the kinds of exercises or homework introduced between sessions.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let clients use guided mindfulness or skill practices at home between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, DBT skills coaching, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so practical learning continues outside the session.
