Daryl Mitchell, LCSW
About me
Hello and welcome.
Thank you for reading my profile. I begin counseling by listening. Every person is unique and your experiences are different from others. I do not tell people what to do. Instead I will help you explore the possibilities that your problems reveal and guide you to choose the best path for yourself. Experience teaches me that people get stuck
when the story of themselves doesn't match their current reality. The stuckness usually comes from believing that change is too hard or not possible based on past choices.
The truth is we choose our way going forward. There may be obstacles, but giving up on the life we want is deeply dissatisfying. I enjoy joining people to encourage them to be true to themselves. There is only one you. No one can else can be you.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arkansas and Oklahoma. I have 26 years of experience in helping people choose their life instead of feeling like passengers. I have worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, elementary and high schools, and am now in private practice for my 16th year. My work is primarily with people experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, traumatic events, family problems, work problems, and relationship problems. I use problem solving, supportive techniques, and
cognitive / behavioral techniques. But mostly I ask my clients to make changes and assess the results with me, then choose what works best.
You are a courageous person to even consider taking this step. It shows you want to take back the wheel of your life. I would be honored to be chosen to see where
you can go!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Daryl Mitchell. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
He gave us the tools to do the work... Great counselor, he gave personal accounts of his that made you connect more to what he was saying.

I feel blessed to have the opportunity to receive the level of counseling I find in communicating with Daryl Mitchell. It both professional and personal in its quality and content. I would not hesitate to recommend this format, and I would strongly recommend Daryl Mitchell as a counselor. I am able to recognize specific areas of growth in my personal and interpersonal life.
