Darcy Pare

Darcy Pare is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps adults manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and feeling emotionally overwhelmed. She welcomes people who want faith to be part of their healing and combines practical therapy with biblical perspectives when that is important to the client. Darcy focuses on clear steps people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control of daily life.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness practices. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to help clients change unhelpful patterns and stay motivated. Sessions emphasize small, doable skills for coping, decision making, and emotional regulation.

Darcy works with a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, career questions, and addiction-related struggles. She also supports people facing life transitions, attachment and adoption-related issues, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and ADHD.

With nine years of experience in mental health care, Darcy aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. She helps people set realistic goals and build routines that support those goals. When faith matters to a client, she integrates biblical perspectives alongside therapy tools.

Clients start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Darcy practices in Florida as an LMHC and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce distress and improve mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and symptoms of depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making problems worse.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday routines. That may mean trying a few tools early on and adjusting based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. Licensed professionals can guide how to use skills in daily life so therapy fits around work, family, and other commitments.
