About Derylene
Derylene Proctor is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, and addiction concerns. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, stress, trauma, and midlife changes.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in counseling individuals through major life transitions. She uses practical conversations to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, managing impulses, and rebuilding trust after separation or infidelity.
Derylene uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in straightforward ways. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thinking and choose realistic next steps. She also supports people who want faith-informed perspectives while keeping therapy focused on real-life changes.
People who come to her for anger find attention on what happens right before and after an outburst. She helps identify triggers, plan calmer responses, and repair relationships after conflicts. Work may include practicing new ways to speak up and setting firmer personal boundaries.
Her practice addresses co-morbidity like addiction with relationship stress, and the overlap between impulsivity and decision-making. She works on forgiveness and self-love as practical skills rather than abstract ideals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

She will work collaboratively to match methods to a client’s goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That may mean starting with CBT tools for immediate behavior change and adding motivational strategies to support longer-term choices.
