About Darcy

Darcy Pare is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps adults facing anxiety, stress, trauma, and feeling emotionally overwhelmed. She blends practical strategies with a faith-informed perspective when clients want their beliefs included in therapy. Darcy focuses on helping people find clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day coping.

Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses well-established methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build new behaviors, and manage intense emotions. Sessions aim to be practical - identifying one or two changes to try between meetings and checking what worked.

Darcy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to spot thought patterns that fuel stress and anxiety. Mindfulness practices and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy appear when people need grounding or emotion regulation strategies.

With nine years of clinical experience, Darcy has supported people dealing with depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, codependency, and life transitions. She also works with concerns such as attachment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, attention differences, and mood disorders.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in Florida. People who want faith to be part of their healing will find that element integrated into therapy when requested. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments according to the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Darcy often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while guiding them toward actions that match their values. This approach can help with grief, codependency patterns, and motivation during life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression. CBT provides clear skills and small experiments clients can try between sessions to test what works. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stronger emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools are needed to manage intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is evaluated.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Many people find virtual therapy helpful because it can be easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and homework to what fits into everyday life.
