Getting to know Darlene Clark

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with 9 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and parenting challenges, and have extensive experience supporting individuals living with serious mental illness. My approach Many clients are surprised to find therapy feels easier and more approachable than they expected—especially with my casual, down-to-earth style. You’re always in the driver’s seat when it comes to what we focus on in sessions. My focus My passion is helping people navigate life transitions while building self-esteem, confidence, and resilience. I believe therapy works best when grounded in respect, compassion, and openness. My communication style I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. Starting therapy takes courage, and I want to acknowledge the bravery it takes to take this first step. My goals for you In our sessions, you’ll have the space to share openly while we work together to process difficult emotions and develop coping skills that support your healing journey. I see therapy as a collaboration — you’re always in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to guide, support, and encourage you along the way.
