About Dea
Dea Robinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She began her path in mental health serving as a Corpsman and Psychiatric Technician in the U.S. Navy.
That early work shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach to care. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, mood shifts, and struggles with addiction. She also supports people coping with trauma, relationship and communication problems, ADHD, and sleep or eating concerns.
Background and approach
Her practice in Indiana draws on a broad background across crisis care, inpatient settings, addiction treatment, school-based work, and outpatient services. In sessions she blends straightforward talk with behavioral tools. Techniques include cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, motivational interviewing, and work that draws on the body such as somatic and bilateral exercises.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is included for trauma-focused work when appropriate. She brings specific experience with autism, ADHD, attachment issues, immigration stress, veteran and armed forces matters, and problems linked to guilt, shame, isolation, or life transitions. She is familiar with psychotropic medications and how they can interact with therapy goals.
Outside therapy she enjoys live music, painting, car shows, travel, and cooking German food. Her style is practical and personable, and she invites people to share songs or stories that matter to them.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small, value-based steps despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, anger, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change mood and outcomes; it works well for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and impulsive behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and a nonjudgmental stance to help people process feelings and build self-understanding.Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will review your goals and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods that fit your needs and adjust the plan over time based on what works for you.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you work face-to-face when needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, and staying connected between longer sessions. These options aim to make scheduling easier and therapy more adaptable to busy lives.
