01About Dariann
Dariann Updike is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, with eight years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress and anxiety. She introduces practical skills and steady support so clients can take clearer steps forward. Her tone is warm and collaborative, and she aims to make the first conversations feel straightforward and manageable.
Dariann focuses on common life pressures like relationship tension, low self-esteem, and major changes. She also helps people who struggle with communication problems, self-love, social anxiety, and phobia.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize building skills that are useful outside the therapy room, not just talking about problems. Her way of working blends structured tools and flexible conversation. She uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside motivational conversations and solution-focused planning.
The work is practical - identifying one or two small changes to try between meetings. Sessions tend to center on clear goals and step-by-step strategies. Clients learn coping techniques, ways to manage strong emotions, and communication habits that reduce conflict.
The pace is set by each person, and each plan is adjusted over time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments based on therapist availability. Fees vary by location and availability and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online sessions can use CBT to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and set homework like tracking thoughts or trying small behavioral experiments. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on emotional regulation and practical coping skills. Online DBT work often teaches breathing, grounding, and distress-tolerance strategies that can be practiced between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. That lets sessions stay focused and relevant to daily life while shifting methods if something isn’t helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling. It also lets people try skills in the context of their routines and bring specific day-to-day challenges directly into the conversation.
