About Darlene
Darlene Narvae is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with addictions, ADHD, grief, and career or parenting challenges. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps clients can use right away.
She keeps conversations focused and straightforward. Darlene uses approaches that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other and then tries different responses. She also draws on acceptance-based strategies and client-centered work to help people notice what matters most to them.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with people affected by emotional or physical abuse and complex life changes. That experience informs brief skill-building and longer-term pacing when a problem needs more time. She pays attention to patterns such as avoidance, self-criticism, and communication habits that keep problems going.
In sessions, Darlene helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. She offers exercises in awareness and practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage anger. Sessions often include goal-setting and reviewing what helped between meetings.
People considering therapy will find direct, structured sessions aimed at measurable steps. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site process.
How her approaches fit into online sessions
Many of her core methods translate to an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses values-based exercises and acceptance skills to help people move toward goals even when strong emotions are present. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can notice their own priorities and decide what matters next.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try approaches that match those needs. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins to see what helps.
Check the booking steps to confirm which session options she currently offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the questionnaire so you know how meetings will fit into your routine.
