About Pascale
Pascale Dellefield is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and codependency among other struggles. Pascale speaks from long experience helping people reconnect with what matters to them.
Her style centers on collaborative, practical work in sessions. She uses mindfulness and thought-focused techniques to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She also draws on solution-focused tools to set small, doable goals and on skills from dialectical behavior approaches to manage strong feelings.
She has worked with people affected by bipolar conditions, eating and intimacy issues, parenting strain, occupational burnout, and compassion fatigue. Pascale also supports those dealing with family of origin problems, abandonment worries, and communication or control issues. Her background includes work with diverse cultural and spiritual perspectives.
In therapy she often suggests short skill-building exercises and reading between sessions. Those homework tasks are meant to strengthen skills learned in session and make changes more likely in day-to-day life. She explains techniques plainly and checks that they fit the person’s everyday routine.
Pascale emphasizes respect for personal values and the role of spirituality when clients want to include it. She conducts sessions in English and bases treatment on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, DBT skills, and solution-focused methods. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions still allow the therapist to hear concerns, ask clarifying questions, and work with the person to set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In virtual sessions this often means practicing new ways of thinking, reviewing real-life examples, and setting small experiments to try between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Those skills can be taught in online meetings and practiced with simple worksheets or short exercises between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may adjust as issues change over time. Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography did not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using written exercises, guided mindfulness practice, and regular skill check-ins between sessions to keep progress moving.Areas of focus
