About Deana
Deana Thuer is a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) practicing in Nebraska. She has three years of professional experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. Deana works with adults on issues like self-esteem, motivation, coping with life changes, and grief.
Her approach blends practical tools with direct conversation. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing while drawing on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when useful.
Background and approach
Sessions balance validation with gentle challenges to help people try different ways of responding to hard feelings. Deana has experience supporting people dealing with panic attacks, bipolar disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and personality-related struggles. She also helps individuals who are healing from attachment wounds, abandonment, or codependency.
She offers care for those facing substance use concerns as she progresses toward additional licensure in drug and alcohol counseling. People who prefer straightforward talk and occasional blunt honesty tend to find her style comfortable. She uses plain language and practical strategies you can try between sessions.
Her goal is to help clients build skills that fit daily life and improve coping over time. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values-based action so someone can move toward what matters despite anxiety or stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by guiding focused attention while recalling upsetting events; it can help with post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing self-harm urges, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That shared decision-making helps tailor sessions so techniques fit the client's day-to-day life and recovery priorities.
Online therapy with this practitioner is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messages are handy for shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or fitting support into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
