Background and approach
Darice has worked in addiction and mental health settings and has a long history supporting people after trauma and abuse. Her style blends several approaches so the work fits the person. She listens first, then shapes sessions around what each client needs.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, with room for emotion and problem solving. Common tools Darice uses include cognitive strategies to reframe unhelpful thoughts, skills for managing intense feelings, and values-based work to guide action. She also draws on attachment ideas to help repair relationship patterns and build stronger bonds with others.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them. It helps with burnout, anxiety, depression, and challenges like ADHD by shifting attention from avoiding feelings to living in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Darice will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt methods based on goals, daily demands, and personal preferences. Sessions can mix tools from different approaches so people build skills that fit their real lives.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer discussions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady progress across weeks.
