About Darrell
Darrell Clarke is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with more than two decades of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He aims to create practical, steady progress in short, clear steps.
Clarke draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses client-centered methods to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and acceptance-based practices may be used to help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused. Clarke helps people identify one or two important priorities, try new skills between meetings, and check what is working.
He emphasizes realistic changes people can use in daily life. He has spent many years working with issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and difficulties after divorce or separation. Other common topics include jealousy, infidelity, guilt, shame, fatherhood issues, and control struggles.
People who do best with his style are practical and willing to try different techniques. Clarke encourages collaboration - he listens first, then helps design steps that fit each person’s life and goals. Clarke offers services in English and practices across Texas.
He brings 22 years of experience as an LPC while helping people build clearer habits and steadier relationships.
Approach and Online Options for Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps when avoidance and worry get in the way of meaningful life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, listening stance so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. Together you will adjust techniques and pace based on what feels useful and manageable for your situation.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when typing feels easier. These options aim to give flexibility so therapy can fit into work, parenting, or other daily routines.
