About Pascale

Pascale Dellefield is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered warmth to help people shift unhelpful patterns and reconnect with what matters.

Background and approach

With 21 years of professional experience practicing in California, she draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to address a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, and life transitions.

Her style emphasizes a respectful, heart-centered alliance that honors each person’s values and background. Pascale tailors conversations and treatment plans to individual needs, incorporating practical skill-building and optional reading or homework to support growth between sessions.

She works in English and conducts sessions for clients located in California, offering multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Approaches for Online Care and Skill Building



Pascale uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns; CBT emphasizes practical strategies and homework to support change. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that helps people explore values, relationships, and emotional experience at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, teaching concrete tools for managing intense feelings and improving communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Pascale works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and immediate needs, then adapts or combines methods so treatment feels useful and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home. These options allow for flexible timing, ongoing skill practice between sessions, and multiple ways to stay engaged with treatment according to what works best for the individual.
