More about Darin
- 8 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am a professional counselor licensed in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I have over 8 years of experience providing counseling to clients who struggle with substance use, depression, grief and loss, suicidal thoughts, anger management and mental health disorders. My knowledge base includes several years of training in trauma-informed care, crisis management, and mental health first-aid.
My most commonly used therapy techniques include CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Person-Centered approaches. At my core, I am a teacher, motivator, and relator. My approach to counseling is to honor, respect, and serve my clients by maintaining an environment that makes them feel heard, and valued . I believe that confronting our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors can be challenging. My philosophy is that self-improvement is DIFFICULT BUT DOABLE!
I applaud for starting your journey toward meeting the BEST YOU! If you choose to journey with me, I look forward to serving you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Hands Down The Best Therapist I ever had. He Listens, is compassionate, knowledgeable and experienced.
He's been a beacon of light for me.
I can’t thank BetterHelp and Darin enough. Without his help I would be stuck in the same ole cycles. Without his help I wouldn’t be able to look at the future and be happy about it. He’s transformed my life, he’s helped me a lot. I would recommend Darin to anyone that’s looking for a therapist. Darin to me is one of one. Thank you Darin and keep bringing blessings to this world.
excellent
I feel that anyone who's been through the mental health system has had some interesting experiences to say the least with different therapists. Darin Hudson, however, gave me a new light of reassurance for being able to receive the proper treatment with a therapist who actually took the time to understand what I felt my needs were and has opened helped enlighten my mind with the way we discuss what I've been through and/or am going through.
I've had the privilege of working with Darin as my therapist, and I must say he's exceptional. Darin's dedication to his clients is evident through his consistent follow-ups after each session. He's incredibly accommodating, always willing to adjust his schedule to ensure I get the support I need. His warm and friendly demeanor makes therapy sessions feel comfortable and relaxed. Plus, he provides insightful and valuable advice. I highly recommend Darin to anyone seeking therapy, and I'm grateful for the support he's offered during my time of need. Looking forward to more sessions with him!
Darin is personable and makes an effort to normalize the experiences that I struggle with.
Darin is thoughtful and well-equipped to work with a wide variety of clientele. His honest, genuine nature makes it very easy to talk to him about anything.
Professional , thorough , respectful and responsive of my concerns
Darin takes it all in and then provides these take home “pearls of wisdom” that help guide you through. He listens to your story but knows how to dive deeper to get a sense of the “whole picture” and how you can work together to learn from your experiences , easily identify similar people/personalities in the future and better approach a similar situation next time.
Darin is excellent and truly helping me think differently to improve the challenges I face. We have helpful and valuable dialogue.
Great listener and understands my issues provides valuable feedback while giving some good coping skills .
Darin was my first therapist. I didn’t expect things to roll well. Extremely easy to talk to and relate with. Offered new perspectives and information to absorb. Highly recommended.
