About Darlene

Darlene Graham is a licensed mental health counselor with 17 years of clinical experience in Indiana. She combines practical coaching with counseling to help people move forward when life feels stuck. Her approach centers on clear steps, emotional connection, and helping clients find what matters most to them.

Darlene draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice and change patterns in relationships and feelings. She also uses client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative, with goals set together. People who come to her often want help with relationships, intimacy-related concerns, or family history that still affects daily life. She also works on self-esteem, body image, eating and food-related issues, and workplace or career stress.

Anger, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and finding life purpose are other common topics she addresses. Darlene incorporates practical skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed. She offers support for midlife transitions, young adult concerns, and the strains that come with caregiving or compassion fatigue.

Therapy focuses on small, manageable changes that add up over time. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens for strengths and helps people build on them.

Sessions are aimed at clear progress rather than long lists of steps, so clients can try new ways of relating and feeling between meetings.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Emotion and Attachment Work Online

Darlene uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people track feelings and the ways those feelings shape relationships. EFT focuses on identifying key emotions, naming them, and trying new emotional responses to create safer connections. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence she uses to look at how early relationship patterns show up now and affect trust, closeness, and conflict.

She approaches treatment collaboratively. Together the therapist and client will decide which approach fits best based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. That makes room to mix emotion-focused work, client-centered listening, and cognitive tools when needed so the plan matches real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls let most of the interaction feel like an in-person session, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging helps with short updates or steady encouragement between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice changes in everyday settings.
