About Darcy

Darcy Pare is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, anger, relationship strains, parenting challenges, and related concerns. Darcy blends evidence-based therapy with clients' faith when that is important to them. She focuses on clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory.

In sessions she helps people make sense of what they are feeling and what leads to outbursts or simmering resentment. Conversations move from describing patterns to trying specific skills that reduce reactivity and improve communication. Clients learn ways to notice triggers, pause, and choose actions that match their values.

Her clinical work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to build stress management skills, reduce avoidance, and work through unhelpful thinking that fuels anger and anxiety. Practical exercises and short behavioral experiments are common parts of the process.

Darcy also attends to issues that often sit alongside anger, like trauma, relationship conflict, substance use, and parenting strain. She can help people clarify goals for better relationships, more predictable moods, or healthier coping when life changes feel overwhelming.

People who want faith to be part of therapy can bring that into sessions. The focus remains on concrete changes and skills that can be used between meetings.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when strong feelings arise. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can reduce the pull of anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In CBT clients learn to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioral changes that lower reactivity and improve communication. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful when anger shows up as intense emotion or when relationships become strained. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Darcy will help you decide which methods fit your goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Discussing which format best meets your schedule and technical comfort is part of the first step.
