About Deanna
Deanna Eshler, LPCC, is a licensed clinical counselor in Ohio with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety along with depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship strain, and self-esteem issues. Her style is warm and practical and she aims to help people find steady ways to cope and move forward.
She draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Sessions often include gentle exploration of how past attachments affect today’s relationships.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change patterns of thought and behavior. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are woven in to help people name their experience and practice different ways of responding. Deanna’s background includes work in community mental health centers, foster and adoption services, school settings, and intensive home-based counseling.
Those roles exposed her to a wide range of family and parenting challenges, attachment concerns, and post-traumatic stress. She has two decades of hands-on experience supporting people through life changes and parenting strain. Her approach is collaborative and individualized.
She helps people identify strengths, set small goals, and try practical strategies between sessions. Conversations are framed with respect, sensitivity, and a focus on empowerment. People often come for help with anxiety, coping after trauma, difficulties with communication, or feelings of isolation.
Deanna works with each person to create a treatment plan based on their needs and goals.
How attachment, CBT, and EFT work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to identify attachment patterns and practice new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and conflict.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. In teletherapy this often involves short assignments between sessions and practical tools to change behavior and reduce worry.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on the emotional signals beneath conflicts and distress. Through guided dialogue a therapist helps name feelings and shift interaction patterns so people feel more understood and less reactive.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text options work well for quick check-ins or shorter reflections. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and keep consistent momentum between appointments.
