Background and approach

DeShaun uses straightforward talk and practical steps so people can notice small changes week to week. Her background includes hands-on experience guiding people through loss, shifts in motivation, and changes in relationships or work. She supports clients who struggle with body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, midlife questions, money stress, and workplace issues.

She also addresses concerns around sexuality, social anxiety, narcissism, and topics specific to women. Therapy combines emotional support with real-world strategies for coping and decision-making. DeShaun helps people build self-compassion and practical routines that reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Progress is measured in concrete actions rather than abstract promises. To get started she asks new clients to choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. After matching, scheduling follows the therapist's availability and preferred session format.

Approaches you can try online

DeShaun focuses on clear, evidence-based techniques that translate well to online work. One common approach is structured problem-solving, which breaks big issues into small steps and helps people test changes one at a time. This method works well for stress, anxiety, and practical life challenges.

Another common focus is emotion-focused support that helps people name feelings and reduce shame. Sessions use direct conversation and small coping exercises to build self-compassion and stronger day-to-day routines. These techniques help with grief, low self-esteem, and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust based on what helps most. She aims to match tools and pace to each person's preferences and life demands.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
