About Darlene

Darlene Mayers is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 26 years of experience in the mental health field. She combines clinical training and practical experience to support individuals facing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief, mood and personality disorders, substance use and other addictions, trauma and abuse histories, and a wide range of relationship and family concerns. She also offers life coaching services to help clients clarify goals and make meaningful changes.

Darlene earned a B.S. in Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and an M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. As an LMFT she brings a systemic perspective that considers relationships and family patterns alongside individual symptoms. Her style is described by the terms she prioritizes in practice - compassionate, sensitive, sincere, respectful, and interactive - and she draws from multiple therapeutic modalities to tailor a treatment plan to each person’s needs.

Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior therapy skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address stress, coping with life changes, parenting and blended family issues, intimacy and sexual concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and other challenges. Darlene works collaboratively with clients to identify priorities and practical steps toward improved functioning and well-being.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Remote Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and resources guide the work. This approach supports growth and self-understanding and is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping with crisis moments.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Darlene collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. That partnership helps ensure work is both practical and meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow scheduling that fits daily life, enable ongoing skill practice between sessions, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods to remote formats so therapy remains focused, interactive, and goal-oriented.
