01 · Who Darrell works with

Darrell works with stress, Anxiety, self esteem and career difficulties

Darrell lists 5 specialisms and 20 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Darrell chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Darrell's own words

What Darrell says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Hello. I am a proud US Army Veteran with proven leadership ability and qualities. I was promoted from E-1 to E-7 in nine years. I successfully deployed to Bosnia and Kosovo and spent 13 months in Iraq with ten soldiers under my direct leadership. I graduated with my Bachelor's in social work from Brescia University and my Master's from Walden University.

Through God's grace and mercy, I have been counseling, mentoring, and coaching for over twenty years. I have six years of experience working directly with youth and teens as a school social worker.

I will never claim to be able to solve any person's problem, but I can promise you will not have to grow through it alone. I am humbled, grateful, and thankful God has blessed me with the foundation to provide encouragement, inspiration, motivation, and hope for our future leaders!

03 · How Darrell works

The 1 approach Darrell lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Darrell lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Darrell's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Darrell runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Darrell practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Darrell's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Darrell at this point.

2. Naming Darrell specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Darrell is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Darrell.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Darrell

Built from what Darrell actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Darrell's - Darrell has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “With 20 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Darrell's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Darrell. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
