About Darlene
Darlene Graham is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 17 years of experience. She works with people on relationship issues, self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, coaching, intimacy-related problems, eating concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses family dynamics, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.
Darlene blends relational and practical approaches. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas to help people name and respond to strong emotions. She also draws on client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral methods to help clients notice patterns and try different responses.
Sessions focus on clear steps and thought restructuring when that helps. She favors strengths-based and solution-oriented work, while also making space to understand how past family relationships shape current patterns. Conversations are pitched to what each person needs that week, whether that is coaching around a career move or talking through a painful relationship moment.
People who come for help with eating and body-image issues or intimacy-related struggles can expect a mix of emotional work and practical skills. For concerns like forgiveness, infidelity, or workplace stress, she helps clients identify small changes that shift how they relate to others and themselves.
Darlene has experience with young adults and older adults and has worked with children and adolescents in the past. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and follow the site's booking steps to schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and respond to strong feelings and to see how those feelings shape relationship patterns. EFT can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or hard to put into words. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current bonds; it helps people recognize repeated ways of relating and try new, more connected responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to use based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will check how an approach is working and adjust the focus as needed so sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering sessions that don't require being on camera. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain regular work on relationship patterns, emotion regulation, and skills practice without reshaping daily routines.
