About Darrell
Darrell Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. He focuses on men’s wellbeing and helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports clients dealing with self-esteem issues and coping with life changes.
His background includes long-term work in counseling settings where he combined cognitive and humanistic ideas to help clients make concrete changes. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning.
In sessions he uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises. He helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and build habits that better match their values. He also brings elements of existential and mindfulness approaches to help clients reflect on meaning and stay present.
He has focused attention on attachment-related concerns such as abandonment, codependency, avoidant and dependent personality patterns. He also works with issues that affect intimate relationships - commitment, trust, infidelity, jealousy, and communication problems.
Darrell aims to create a collaborative environment where motivation and effort are honored. He guides clients through steps they can try between sessions and checks progress as goals evolve. This practical orientation is meant to help people move toward more stable relationships and a clearer sense of self.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps aligned with those values. It often uses short exercises and practical homework to shift actions even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck and uses active techniques to test new ways of thinking and behaving. This can help with anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which supports better decision making and calmer responses in tense moments.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what helps most, with regular check-ins about progress and next steps.
Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It also makes it possible to keep a steady schedule while using exercises and worksheets between meetings to reinforce change.
