About Darlene

Darlene Amin is a licensed mental health counselor with thirteen years of experience helping people navigate painful and confusing moments. She creates a calm space where people can talk about anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Darlene listens closely and helps each person find practical steps forward.

She draws on Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That approach supports work on low self-esteem, life purpose, and coping with big changes.

Background and approach

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck and take actions that match their values. A client-centered stance guides her work. That means she treats people as the experts on their own lives and builds goals together.

Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at connection issues, jealousy, and communication struggles. Darlene has supported people dealing with chronic pain, mood disorders, ADHD, and post-traumatic stress. She also helps with career stress, sleep problems, anger, and challenges linked to multicultural identity or HIV/AIDS.

Her approach blends short-term coaching and longer-term therapy depending on the need. Sessions are offered by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging for people located in Florida. Darlene speaks English and holds a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential (LMHC).

Online session options

How narrative and values-based work translates online

Online sessions with Darlene commonly use Narrative therapy to help people tell and retell the stories that shape how they feel and act. That work helps with low self-esteem, life purpose questions, and coping after trauma by separating the person from the problem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to teach simple skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters to someone, useful for anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then try techniques that fit. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and focused on the person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and health schedules while working with a licensed professional.
