Dalecia Parks, LMHC

Dalecia Parks is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. She supports individuals working through relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, ADHD challenges, and struggles with self-esteem. She practices in Florida and has nine years of clinical experience as an LMHC.

Her style is collaborative and person-centered. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She listens for patterns such as attachment wounds, codependency, or avoidance, and helps clients spot reactions that keep problems going.

Dalecia draws on a mix of approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance-based practices, and attachment work. That means clients learn to notice thoughts, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of relating to others. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions.

In therapy she will help you build coping strategies for chronic stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness impacts, and substance-related concerns. Conversations often include concrete tools you can use between sessions and simple experiments to test new habits.

Her background emphasizes culturally responsive care and steady support. She aims to help people reconnect with strengths, reduce symptoms that get in the way, and create realistic steps toward change.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move someone toward a life they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning can include mixing techniques so sessions fit changing needs over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people use online sessions to maintain momentum between in-person visits, check in on skill practice, or have a shorter meeting when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to work well in remote sessions, focusing on exercises you can do during and between meetings.
