Deanna Hatcher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience. She guides people who feel stressed, anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed toward clearer choices and calmer days.

Deanna listens first to understand what matters most to each person. She then helps set small, doable goals and builds steps to reach them.
Background and approach
Many clients come for anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, parenting strain, low self-esteem, or depression. Her work uses practical strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means helping people notice unhelpful thinking, find motivation for change, and use simple problem-solving to move forward.
Deanna also supports people facing chronic pain, illness, or disability and those dealing with addiction, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and multicultural stressors. She helps people handle panic attacks, grief around forgiveness, shame or guilt, and questions about life purpose and money worries. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Deanna helps clients break big problems into small steps and track progress along the way. She works with adults who want straightforward help to reduce anxiety, solve problems, and build more satisfying days.
How Deanna’s Approaches Work Online
Deanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see and change patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and stress. CBT focuses on practical steps like trying new behaviors and testing out different ways of thinking to reduce symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons to change and build the confidence to take the next steps. This approach is helpful for issues like addiction, making lifestyle shifts, or sustaining new habits. Choosing a therapeutic approach is a joint process. Deanna will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT, motivational work, solution-focused questions, or a mix best fits the situation, and they adjust as progress is made. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are useful for a standard session with face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are good for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, pacing, and the way a person wants to engage with therapy.Questions people ask
