About Darryl
Darryl Narcisse is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical support for people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and encourages people who take that first step.
He creates a calm space where someone can talk through painful memories and strong emotions without feeling judged. Sessions include problem-solving and skills practice for things like anger, stress, and coping with big life changes.
Background and approach
He also helps people rebuild self-esteem and address intimacy-related issues. Darryl uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities. He blends that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and still take steps toward a meaningful life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when managing intense emotions or learning better ways to relate to others. He has worked with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, and chronic illness, and he pays attention to multicultural concerns and experiences of prejudice. Issues like family of origin, fatherhood, infidelity, and isolation are also within his focus areas.
He can adapt pacing and techniques for those with visual impairment or intellectual disability. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Darryl welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.
If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
How these approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by clarifying values and small action steps.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person’s lead. That approach helps people feel heard and build trust, which is helpful for work on intimacy, self-esteem, and grief.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It is often used when anger, overwhelm, or relationship conflicts make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually works for the person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls let people see facial cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when being on camera feels hard, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, medical needs, or mobility limitations while still using ACT, client-centered work, and DBT skills.
