About Deanna
Deanna Rasnic is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She listens without judgment and offers straightforward, practical guidance. Her approach is direct but warm, focused on helping people take the next steps toward feeling better.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Sessions often include talking through what feels heavy, identifying patterns, and practicing small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Deanna draws on nearly three decades of counseling experience to tailor steps to each person's situation. Deanna has substantial experience with relationship and family concerns, including blended family issues, co-parenting, and divorce recovery. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and body image challenges, and career or life transitions.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care situations and many family of origin issues. Clients can expect a counselor who is empathetic, honest, and practical. Deanna combines caring attention with clear suggestions and goal-focused work.
She helps people sort priorities, set boundaries, and build routines that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Over her career she has worked in agency settings and independent practice. That experience informs how she helps people manage depression, bipolar concerns, intimacy issues, parenting strains, and problems with self-esteem or codependency.
Her work centers on helping people move forward from past hurts so they can live more fully in the present.
Using CBT and Online Tools to Manage Anxiety and Stress
Deanna frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks issues into smaller parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and common stressors that interfere with daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Deanna works together with each person to decide whether CBT or another way of working will match their goals and preferences. She will check in about what is helpful, adjust techniques, and set clear steps so progress feels manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different routines and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while focusing treatment on practical change.
