How her approaches translate to online work
Deana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. EMDR is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity through structured sessions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where a person’s own goals guide the work. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and responding to what each person says matters most to them. Choosing the right method is a collaborative process; Deana will talk through options and adapt techniques to match goals, comfort, and the pace each person prefers.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people use visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
