Pascale Dellefield

Pascale Dellefield is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 21 years of experience. She emphasizes mindfulness as a way to slow down, notice what matters, and build steadier responses to stress. Her manner is warm and heart-centered, aimed at helping people reconnect with meaningful parts of their lives.

She combines mindfulness with practical tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions often include simple meditation practices, conversational reflection, and homework like readings or skill-building exercises. The goal is to develop habits that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and make everyday choices clearer.

Pascale has worked across many clinical concerns, including mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, body image, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns. Her background includes long-term practice in California and experience with diverse cultural perspectives.

Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then tailors a plan to each person’s needs. Clients can expect practical strategies alongside mindful practices. Reading and at-home exercises are used when helpful to reinforce new skills between sessions.

Pascale writes and illustrates a book about living with sensitivity and resilience. She conducts therapy in English and asks prospective clients to confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.

How mindfulness and practical therapies work online

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention practices and breathing exercises to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, grief, and managing mood swings by building present-moment awareness.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s priorities and experience. The therapist listens with empathy and helps the client name goals, make choices, and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses short practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time. That way, sessions stay focused on what matters most to the client.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills between sessions in the settings where they actually live and work, helping new habits take hold.
