About Daryl
Daryl Austin is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people work on self esteem, anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, and healing after trauma or abuse. He presents as calm and straightforward and focuses on helping people take the first steps toward feeling more capable and more satisfied in daily life.
He has spent decades in mental health work, including county outpatient clinics and acute inpatient care. Daryl returned to school later in life, earning a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling from National University in Fresno, California, and he holds a California LMFT credential. Over 12 years in clinical practice he has led short-term Dialectical Behavior Therapy groups in county settings and provided case management and direct-care services.
Daryl uses a client-centered approach tailored to each person. He draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior methods when they fit the situation, and adapts techniques to what the individual needs. In sessions he aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts, feelings, and matters of faith can be discussed.
Faith integration is available for people who want it, though it is not required. He explains options and works with clients to decide how much faith-based material to include. The focus stays on practical steps people can take between sessions.
He emphasizes clear goals and small, achievable changes that build confidence over time. Daryl encourages people who feel stuck to reach out and start the matching process so they can schedule according to availability.
