Darcie Rudolf

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Hi there, I'm Darcie! I'm a licensed professional counselor at New Beginnings Virtual Counseling LLC specializing in trauma and PTSD management. I've provided care for over 11 years supporting, teens and adults through grief, substance use, Autism, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger and stress management, and depression.

Through personal grief, I understand that loss is not something you just get over. It changes you. Healing begins with support, time, and space to actively grieve and nurture your wellbeing.

I understand how complicated life can become where one day we stop, look around, and think what happened, how did I get here. Together we can untangle those knots.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Langhorne, PA


I specialize in helping adults and young adults manage anxiety disorders, panic attacks, chronic stress, and burnout using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. I also support clients experiencing depression, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone.

Many of the people I work with are functioning well but internally overwhelmed—dealing with constant worry, racing thoughts, physical symptoms of anxiety, or a persistent sense of being “on edge.” Others notice anxiety affecting their sleep, focus, relationships, or ability to relax and enjoy life.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Erie, PA

Searching for therapists in Erie starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to address. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and life changes. As you compare Erie PA therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs. A therapist may list experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, or faith-informed care such as Christian counseling.

In a smaller city like Erie, local therapy options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can add more choice, especially if you want a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania who fits your schedule or has experience with a specific concern. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their therapy style. Bios can help you understand what sessions may be like and whether a therapist’s communication style seems like a fit.

Therapy in Erie can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket price before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists in Erie, PA who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, check insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
