About Darlene
Darlene Graham is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) based in Indiana with 17 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, coping with life changes, coaching, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses body image, communication problems, family of origin issues, and workplace struggles.
Darlene uses a practical, step-by-step style. She pays attention to thoughts and how those thoughts shape feelings and actions. That makes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy a regular part of her work, alongside client-centered and attachment-informed ways of relating.
Sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different responses. She favors strengths-based, solution-focused conversations that move toward small, concrete changes. Clients can expect direct discussion about what is working and what to try next.
Her practice includes attention to emotional regulation skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and emotionally-focused techniques for relationship issues. She helps people work through forgiveness, guilt, shame, infidelity, and midlife questions with clear, manageable steps. The aim is to reduce repetitive thinking and improve daily functioning.
Darlene describes her role as walking alongside people who want change. She has experience with young adults, adolescents, children, and older adults, and she integrates coaching and counseling when appropriate. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Many of her methods are practical and fit well into remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. That can be done through brief exercises, homework, and structured check-ins that suit an online rhythm.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships. In an online session this can mean mapping relationship patterns and practicing new ways of responding to partners or family members in real time. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and perspectives, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying so clients can decide what matters most.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. That may mean combining CBT skills with attachment work or using emotionally-focused tools for relationship moments.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Generally, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, allow shorter focused check-ins, reduce travel time, and let people use video or audio in ways that match their needs. Licensed professionals use these practical benefits to help people apply new skills between sessions.
