About Deanna
Deanna Perrone is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, and relationship struggles. She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions move at a pace each person can handle and aim to reduce repeating patterns that hold people back.
She pays special attention to how past relationships shape present behavior. That includes attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and patterns that show up in intimacy and parenting.
Background and approach
Deanna also works with people coping with grief, trauma, chronic illness, career changes, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Her practice blends several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice values and take committed steps toward them. Attachment-based work looks at relationship histories to change current patterns. Deanna brings 14 years of experience as an LCSW in Texas.
She listens for what matters most and uses clear techniques alongside deeper conversation. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, with gentle challenges when needed to promote insight and change. People who prefer flexible session formats can schedule video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the therapist's availability. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then appointments are scheduled based on availability.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then taking small steps toward what matters. It is helpful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxious or depressive reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people change how they connect in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean combining techniques from ACT, CBT, and attachment work as sessions progress.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone meetings can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins or more frequent support possible without a full session, adding schedule flexibility and accessibility for different routines and energy levels.
