About Darlene
Darlene Mayers, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), is licensed in Florida and has 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related issues. Her approach combines practical therapy methods to help people find workable solutions.

Mindfulness strategies and Motivational Interviewing are added when clients need coping tools or help making changes.
She has long experience with mood disorders, substance-related problems, personality concerns, and trauma histories. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and life transitions. This background informs how she structures sessions and plans treatment goals.
Darlene trained at Palm Beach Atlantic University and earned a master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. The profile lists her as offering life coaching in addition to therapy work.

How her approaches translate to online work
Darlene uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities, helping people talk through what matters to them. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns and reduce symptoms.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are needed. DBT techniques are practical and skill-focused, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking how skills practice and session structure are going and adjusting as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to help clients maintain consistency and make steady progress.
