About DeAnna
Her approach focuses on understanding each person's situation and building practical steps forward. She uses client-centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful patterns and try small changes that bring relief.
Mindfulness methods are offered to help slow things down and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings. These tools are often paired with concrete problem-solving for areas like career decisions, parenting challenges, caregiving stress, and coping with grief. DeAnna also addresses concerns related to self-esteem, intimacy, addiction, ADHD, and LGBT issues.
Her background includes work in case management and supportive counseling for people facing a range of barriers, including housing instability and complex social needs. That experience informs a practical focus on real-life solutions. She helps people sort resources, set goals, and gain skills to manage day-to-day demands.
DeAnna encourages questions and takes time to match strategies to each person's life. She emphasizes steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes. If you want a therapist who listens, helps set clear steps, and stays focused on everyday improvements, she may be a good fit.
Using client-centered, CBT, and mindfulness approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the person sets the pace and goals. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a place to make sense of change or stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small, practical shifts that reduce anxiety or improve mood. It is often used for worry, habit changes, and problem solving around work or relationships.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice feelings and calm intense reactions. It can be paired with other work to reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. Together they review what helps and adjust plans as needed so the therapy feels useful and realistic.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered tools to remote settings to focus on clear steps and everyday progress.
