Darryl Narcisse, LPC

Darryl Narcisse is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, and the strain of life changes. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where someone can talk about what matters most to them.

In sessions he focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. He listens closely to each person's goals and adapts the plan as progress is made. He uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck on them.

He also draws from Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s lead and build trust. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need concrete strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These approaches are used together to match each person's situation and preferences.

Darryl has worked with issues that include chronic pain, disability, aging concerns, intellectual disability, and visual impairment, alongside more common concerns like stress and self-esteem. He is mindful of multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on well-being.

He welcomes people who are exploring questions around intimacy, fatherhood, communication problems, and traumatic brain injury. Starting therapy is described as a courageous step, and he supports people through the early process of matching goals to therapeutic tools.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that match what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building trust, letting the person guide the pace and topics of sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, handling crises, and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals and day-to-day needs. This happens together, with adjustments as progress is made and new issues come up.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. Because formats are not specified in this profile, confirm current session options before booking so you know whether phone or video visits are offered. Many people find that meeting remotely lets them keep therapy consistent while juggling appointments, caregiving, work, or medical needs.
