Deanna draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's needs, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change it.
She also brings in Existential ideas about meaning and choice when people are facing big life transitions. People can expect a steady, nonjudgmental atmosphere where they can talk honestly about hard feelings. Deanna works with matters like intimacy, jealousy, infidelity, and compassion fatigue in a direct, practical way.
She also addresses career stress, bipolar-related concerns, and challenges connected to multicultural or veteran experiences. Whether someone is dealing with daily overwhelm or a major life shift, Deanna helps them take concrete steps toward better coping.

How her approach adapts to online therapy
Deanna draws on Client-Centered Therapy to place the client's needs at the center of each session, creating space for open, honest conversation. This method helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their feelings without judgment. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical strategies that change behavior and mood over time. CBT is useful for worries, anger reactions, and rebuilding daily routines.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Deanna discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts techniques as needed. She works with each person to try methods that fit their values and life circumstances rather than sticking to one rigid plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is good for full conversations and reading body language, phone calls can work when bandwidth is low, live chat is suited to quick check-ins, and text messaging can help with brief ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep progress moving even with a hectic schedule.
