Background and approach
Deana pays attention to trauma and long-standing patterns that can make life feel stuck. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as one tool to help process traumatic memories, paired with therapies that focus on present thoughts and values. She welcomes a wide range of beliefs and personal backgrounds.
People who value both practical strategies and openness to spiritual or existential questions may find her style a good fit. Her manner is described as warm, steady, and down-to-earth. Typical work includes short-term skill building and deeper work on recurring patterns.
Parents and caregivers can seek support for parenting stress, grief, burnout, or relationship strain. Deana also addresses challenges such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to help people reconnect with strengths and make manageable changes.
The therapist and client collaborate on goals and pace, with a focus on steady, achievable steps toward feeling better.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps forward. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and situations that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for worry, stress, and mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing supports processing of traumatic memories and reducing distress tied to those memories; it can be integrated when trauma is part of the issue.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Deana will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. The plan is collaborative and may mix methods so sessions fit the person’s needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a shorter check-in option, and text-based messaging lets people send notes between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
