About Darla
Darla Avery is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage intense emotions and the fallout of stressful or traumatic experiences. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, anger, or persistent worry and want clearer ways to cope. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping clients feel more grounded day to day.
Darla focuses on identifying thought patterns and emotional triggers that keep problems cycling. She uses goal-focused methods to teach concrete skills for handling anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and addictive urges.
Background and approach
Clients leave sessions with specific tools they can try between meetings. Her work often centers on processing past events that still cause distress. When trauma is part of the story she helps people slowly make sense of those memories and reduce their emotional charge.
This can ease symptoms related to post-traumatic stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Darla draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to meet different needs. She blends those approaches in ways that fit each person’s goals and comfort level.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what a person can handle. With 21 years of experience as an LPC in Texas, Darla brings both clinical knowledge and practical problem-solving to sessions. She aims to help people build resilience, regain a sense of control, and move toward clearer, calmer days.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps people learn practical skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive behavior. It is useful when emotional overwhelm or anger gets in the way of daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It teaches concrete tools for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what feels manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break at work or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to communicate without scheduling a full call. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and continue consistent care.
