About De-Ann
De-Ann Lott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in California. She focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people who are coping with trauma, life changes, and low self-esteem. She aims to meet clients where they are and build a plan that fits their needs.
She has worked with people facing body image concerns and has supported bariatric patients before and after surgery. De-Ann follows a respectful and compassionate approach in sessions.
Background and approach
She adapts the conversation and the plan to each person rather than using one fixed method. In a typical meeting she listens to what feels most urgent and helps break concerns into small, manageable steps. That can include building coping tools for anxiety, processing difficult memories tied to trauma, and strengthening confidence.
She sets goals together with the person and checks progress as work moves forward. Her style is down-to-earth and direct, with an emphasis on practical strategies people can try between sessions. She offers a mix of short-term problem solving and longer-term work when needed.
De-Ann encourages clients to notice small changes and to use those wins as fuel for continued progress. She works in English and provides services remotely through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic Techniques and Online Care
De-Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and behavior steps to reduce intense anxiety and manage stress in daily life. That helps when panic, racing thoughts, or chronic worry get in the way.Another strand of her work focuses on processing traumatic experiences and painful memories through careful, paced conversations. This helps people make sense of what happened, reduce strong emotional reactivity, and rebuild a sense of safety in everyday routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. De-Ann will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest options to try. The plan is adjusted together over time based on what helps and what doesn't.
Her online practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper weekly sessions and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, quick skills practice, or to stay connected between longer appointments. These options help fit therapy into a busy life and make consistent care more accessible.
