About Geraldine

Geraldine Darrell is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship and family concerns, hoarding, end-of-life issues, and multicultural or discrimination-related struggles.

Geraldine takes a straightforward, respectful approach. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the person. She then shapes conversations and practical steps to fit each person’s situation and goals.

Background and approach

She aims to make the process feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Her work draws on Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, and mindfulness exercises. In practice that means talking through stories people tell about themselves, noticing patterns of thought and behavior, and experimenting with small changes between sessions.

Geraldine focuses on collaboration. She helps people set clear goals and checks in about what is or isn’t working. She explains options in plain language and adjusts the approach as needs change.

Sessions are offered in English and Geraldine is open to working with international clients. She encourages those ready to begin to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment so they can start toward clearer coping and better daily functioning.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Geraldine directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How Narrative and ACT inform online sessions

Geraldine commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, separating unhelpful labels from the facts of their lives so new options can appear. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking small steps toward what matters most to them. Client-centered methods guide interactions so sessions feel respectful and focused on each person's priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Geraldine will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress and needs change. That collaborative process helps people feel involved in deciding what feels most useful.

Online therapy makes sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps build connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera isn't desirable. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or ongoing accountability. These options offer flexibility so people can keep working on goals despite hectic schedules.
