She adapts each session to the person in front of her and builds practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Deidra commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions to find small changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and stay motivated through hard steps. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - she will talk with each person about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can help with quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while using methods that match each person's needs and pace.
