Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Deanna commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and unconditional support, helping people explore their values and strengths so they can make meaningful changes and improve relationships. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and learning practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address mood or concentration difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that can support emotion regulation, reduce reactivity, and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Deanna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best given their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access therapy around work, family, or geographical constraints. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care when in-person appointments are difficult, and provide multiple ways for people to engage with a licensed professional in a way that suits their comfort and lifestyle.
