Pascale Dellefield, LMFT

Pascale Dellefield is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who brings 21 years of clinical experience to her work. She offers a warm, heart-centered style and focuses on helping people reconnect with what matters to them. Clients often come for help with stress, anxiety, relationships, mood concerns, and major life changes.

Pascale uses practical tools drawn from client-centered work and evidence-informed approaches. She weaves mindfulness, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, and solution-focused techniques into sessions. Reading and skill-building homework are offered when helpful.

Her experience includes a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating issues, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating family of origin issues, parenting strain, communication problems, and intimacy-related struggles.

Pascale values openness to spirituality and multicultural perspectives. She understands the challenges of immigration and long-term recovery from traumatic events, and she brings that life experience into her therapeutic stance without imposing beliefs.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs with a focus on clear goals and practical steps. The tone is compassionate and direct, aiming to help people develop coping skills and clearer direction in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Pascale draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where people set the pace and goals. This approach helps when someone needs to sort values, reconnect with what matters, or find direction after a life change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new, practical behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and building concrete coping skills for daily life.

Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT-style techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication patterns cause repeated conflict.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process includes agreeing on homework, mindfulness practices, or specific skill drills when they seem helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel time, and let people work on skills between sessions with reading and exercises. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and tools to suit each person's daily routine and goals.
