About Darrell
Darrell Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, communication and control problems, and challenges around infidelity and separation.
He tends to use clear, direct conversation in sessions. He helps people name the patterns that keep repeating in relationships. He will talk through how avoidance, dependence, or people-pleasing show up day to day. Sessions look at choices clients can make now, not just what happened in the past.
His approach blends practical strategies and reflective work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thinking and behavior patterns and to try small experiments that can change those patterns. Client-centered methods focus on the person's perspective and priorities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices support noticing difficult feelings and choosing values-based actions.
He also brings existential ideas into conversation about meaning, responsibility, and commitment. That helps people who feel stuck by fear of loss, shame, or overwhelming guilt. Darrell encourages steady, realistic steps toward better boundaries and clearer communication.
Sessions move at a practical pace. He asks direct questions, suggests doable exercises, and reviews what worked between sessions. The goal is to help people make concrete changes in relationships and daily life, rather than offering quick fixes.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with patterns like people-pleasing or avoiding commitment by focusing on what matters most and taking small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to test different ways of reacting. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and changing repetitive relationship habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.
The practical upside of online sessions is that they can fit into a busy life and reduce travel time. Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins between longer sessions, to schedule appointments around work or parenting, and to use mindfulness or behavioral exercises in the moment. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus to what actually fits a client's routine.
