About Darcy

Darcy Pare is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) working in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She helps adults who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck after trauma, and those dealing with stress, depression, anger, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Darcy includes faith when clients want it to be part of the work.

She uses practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. That means talking through what is happening now, learning skills to manage strong feelings, and setting small, doable goals. She blends cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance and mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity and build steadier responses.

Her background pairs clinical practice with attention to clients' spiritual beliefs when requested. Sessions focus on clear steps rather than vague promises. Clients learn concrete techniques for calming, communicating, and managing triggers that come up at home or at work.

Common topics include managing anger before it escalates, handling workplace frustration, coping with life transitions, and addressing substance or behavior-driven problems. She also works on attachment-related issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and communication problems that affect relationships.

Because she works with adults, conversations stay practical and focused on what fits day-to-day life. Expect a collaborative approach that mixes skill training, short-term problem solving, and values-based choices when faith is part of the picture.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for managing anger that feels automatic or overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small behavior changes, which helps reduce reactivity and improve problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, offering concrete tools for handling intense moments.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. That shared decision making shapes the plan and the skills emphasized in sessions.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For many people, remote sessions still support learning skills, practicing new responses, and checking progress between meetings.
