About Pascale
Pascale Dellefield is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who uses a warm, heart-centered style to help families and parents navigate hard moments. She draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to ease anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, and relationship strain. Her manner is straightforward and grounded, focused on reconnecting clients to what matters in daily life.
She has practiced in California as an LMFT since 2006 and brings 21 years of experience to sessions.
Background and approach
That background includes work with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, grief and loss, and addiction concerns. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. In session she blends client-centered listening with skills teaching.
That means conversations that make space for personal experience alongside clear steps to try between meetings. She often uses mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies to reduce stress and improve coping at home. Pascale tailors plans to each family’s needs, including blended family issues, communication problems, and parenting conflicts.
She also addresses attachment concerns, body image, codependency, and self-esteem in ways that fit everyday routines. Her experience includes working with LGBT clients and older adults. Sessions are offered in English and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Clients use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect a family with her practice.
How therapeutic methods translate to online family care
Pascale often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. That approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and problem-solving in family life.She also applies mindfulness-based techniques to help parents and children slow down, notice feelings, and respond more calmly. Mindfulness can reduce stress and improve attention during tense moments at home.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Pascale works together with each family to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines. That means sessions begin with practical planning and may shift as needs change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let members join from different locations, while phone sessions can fit into tight schedules. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins and skill reminders between meetings. These options support consistent practice of new skills and make ongoing care more flexible for parents and caregivers.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
