About Pascale
Pascale Dellefield is a California LMFT - licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship problems, parenting strain, anger, and grief. Sessions are conducted in English.
Pascale uses straightforward methods such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and solution-focused work. She often uses reading and skill-building homework to reinforce sessions. Her approach aims to help people notice what matters to them and rebuild habits that support those priorities.
Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, eating issues, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems. She has experience supporting people through major life changes and career stress, and she recognizes the impact of family of origin issues and attachment struggles.
Pascale has lived and worked in multiple countries and brings that life experience into sessions. She understands how migration and cultural differences shape responses to stress and relationships. She also draws on personal experience with trauma recovery when introducing mindfulness and meditation practices.
In practical terms, clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and concrete exercises to try between sessions. Pascale adapts the pace and focus to each person’s situation and uses plain language rather than clinical jargon. To begin, people follow the site intake steps to schedule an initial session.
How her main approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client so they can clarify goals and priorities. It helps when people need a steady, collaborative place to talk through relationship stress, anger, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to spot patterns of thinking and change unhelpful behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger management, and many day-to-day problems because it breaks issues into clear steps to practice.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills can reduce frequent intense reactions and improve how people handle conflict at work or home.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches based on their goals, preferences, and what proves helpful in early sessions. That choice can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they normally live and work, which helps translate learning into daily life.
