About Deana
Deana Hartshorn is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of clinical experience.

Deana uses a mix of client-centered work and goal-focused techniques. She listens for what matters most and then helps shape conversations that move toward clearer thinking and healthier habits.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas show up in sessions to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts that fuel anxiety and depression. Narrative therapy ideas are used to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. Solution-focused techniques are brought in to set small, manageable goals and track progress.
Together these methods help people get unstuck and build momentum toward what matters to them. She adapts the pace and tone to each person. Sessions can be practical check-ins, deeper emotional work, or skill-building focused on coping and communication.
Deana emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation. Deana is licensed in Colorado and Texas and works with people in Texas. If you are ready to start, she asks you to complete a short questionnaire to find the best fit and schedule sessions that suit your life.
How her approaches translate to online care
Deana blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage anxiety and low mood. Client-centered therapy means she focuses on your experience, listens closely, and shapes sessions around what you bring. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts that feed anxiety and practice different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.She may also use narrative and solution-focused ideas when helpful. Narrative techniques look at the stories you tell about yourself and open space to rewrite those stories in less painful ways. Solution-focused methods keep attention on small practical steps and measurable goals that build forward movement. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process; she will work with you to choose approaches that match your needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy gives flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let you check in between sessions or use short, focused exchanges when a quick touchpoint helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
