About Darlene
Darlene Graham is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Indiana with 17 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, coaching, family and intimacy-related issues, eating and anger concerns, and compassion fatigue. Darlene uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people adjust unhelpful thinking and improve everyday interactions.
She describes her work as client-centered and thought-restructuring. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that cause repeated conflict or self-criticism. She uses strengths-based and solution-focused methods to help people try small changes and notice what shifts in their relationships and mood.
Darlene brings a relational and spiritual growth perspective to counseling while keeping sessions grounded in concrete skills. She has worked with a broad age range, including children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults, and applies approaches that match the person's situation and goals.
In practice she pays attention to how attachment and communication shape reactions like anger or withdrawal. She also draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on emotion-focused ideas to name and work through strong feelings. Conversations tend to be practical, paced to the client's readiness, and aimed at clearer choices in daily life.
People who want a focused, step-by-step process for handling resentment, improving communication, or shifting self-critical thinking may find this style useful. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit your needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Darlene uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions. This approach helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and anger so they can try different responses in relationships.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts. CBT is practical and skill-based, which can help with workplace stress, resentment, or self-critical thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs how she helps people name and move through strong feelings in relationships.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Darlene will work with each person to choose which methods to use based on goals and what feels doable. That process often begins with setting a small, testable goal and adjusting as progress becomes clear.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the original biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use the same attachment, CBT, and emotion-focused tools in virtual sessions to focus on communication, thought patterns, and managing anger in everyday situations.
