About Dariann
LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with eight years of experience based in Kentucky. Dariann Updike focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She practices several evidence‑based methods to help people facing emotional and practical challenges.
Dariann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Sessions emphasize practical skills such as emotion regulation, communication strategies, and coping techniques that people can use between meetings. She aims to help people build confidence and clearer self-advocacy.
Their approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Conversations are directed toward identifying small, actionable steps. Dariann will introduce tools like thought records, behavioral experiments, and skills practice when useful.
She supports people through transitions and stressors, including social anxiety, communication problems, and struggles with self-love. Sessions tend to focus on what a person wants to change and how to move toward those goals with manageable steps.
People who prefer clear skills, structured practice, and a mix of short‑term problem solving and deeper emotional work may find this approach helpful. Before a first session, reviewers are encouraged to confirm current session options and scheduling details through the platform.

Online work using structured therapy methods
Clients can expect Dariann to draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it helps with anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That discussion guides whether sessions focus more on skills practice, emotional processing, or solution-focused steps.
