About Darrell
Darrell Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with over two decades of experience. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, intimacy issues, low self-esteem, and life transitions. He aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk and figure out next steps.
He draws on a mixture of practical approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often involve noticing what’s working, spotting patterns that get in the way, and testing small changes outside of sessions. He also uses mindfulness practices to help reduce reactivity and increase clarity in tense moments.
Clients commonly come for help with attachment or abandonment worries, codependency and related communication or control problems, and struggles around commitment or trust. He also supports people facing divorce or separation, issues around fatherhood, and the heavy feelings of guilt or shame that follow betrayal or infidelity.
Darrell describes therapy as a collaborative process. He meets people where they are, listens without judgment, and helps set clear, achievable goals. He encourages steady effort and practical steps that fit into everyday life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, codependency patterns, and when life changes make choices feel hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and then trying practical experiments to see what shifts. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and problems with confidence or unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens and reflects so the client can discover their own solutions; this can help with trust, intimacy, and self-esteem issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is often part of the early work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring. That choice can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches, like mindfulness exercises or CBT homework, translate well to remote sessions and can be practiced between meetings to reinforce gains.
