Delynn Parker,Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I provide telehealth counseling services for adults, teens, children, and sometimes families in California. I work hard to break down the barriers people often feel towards therapy by using relatable language, humor, casual rapport, customized packages, telehealth sessions, parent coaching, and more. I make sure you feel safe and supported.

By including humor and other non-traditional approaches in my work, I am a good fit for those looking for someone who is not very 'therapist' like but still has all the experience, therapeutic skills, and insight to help create positive change. I am often able to connect with kids, teens, and adults who have previously not enjoyed or benefited from counseling. I am primarily a relational therapist, meaning that I hold the relationship between you and me as the most important aspect of therapy. In the session, I offer a warm and inviting space to safely discuss struggles, fears, or future hopes. I truly believe there is nothing too severe, dark, weird, or hard to talk about and I am deeply committed to creating a non-judgmental space where all topics are open for exploration. So whether you are looking for some brief solution-focused help or some gentle inquiry, you get to decide how we work together. I have a real passion for Neuroscience, Eastern approaches & educating others on all the ways we are wired and all the ways that we can ‘rewire’ ourselves with the help of Mindfulness and Self Compassion. I incorporate a lot of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focussed Therapy, and more.

I believe sharing one's story is the first step toward creating meaningful and lasting change. In therapy, I respect you, and your story and endeavor to listen thoughtfully while supporting your experience. I see therapy as an opportunity to work with people to make sense of situations, help articulate feelings, learn new skills, develop new coping mechanisms, create healthier relationships & improve general well-being. I am committed to the well-being of all my clients, often going above & beyond to address their needs or advocate for them. I truly care and I'm forever curious about people.
