More about Dariann
- 8 years' experience

- LPCC
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor- Supervisor, (LPCC-S) who works with children, teens, adults, and families. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, stress, mood concerns, and life transitions.
My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I use evidence-based tools like CBT, mindfulness, and coping skills while tailoring therapy to meet each person’s unique needs. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.
I value helping clients build confidence, strengthen self-advocacy, and develop practical tools they can use in everyday life. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or simply looking for support and clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you at your own pace.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
