About Aleta
Aleta (Deonne) O'Quinn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through hard life changes and intense emotions. Her work is aimed at reducing anxiety and depression and improving self-esteem.
She offers a calm, patient presence so people can say what feels unsafe to say elsewhere. She helps clients manage grief, stress, and trauma and talks through relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing addiction, career shifts, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and other long-term challenges. Sessions emphasize practical skills for day-to-day coping as well as time to process deeper feelings. Her approach blends client-centered listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy.
Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas are used when they fit the person's goals. The work is collaborative - the client and therapist pick what makes the most sense together. People can expect short-term skill building alongside longer work on attachment wounds and identity issues.
Aleta pays attention to communication patterns and to how past losses shape present choices. She aims to help people find more self-compassion and clearer, healthier ways to connect with others. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits them.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist provides empathy and follows the client's pace to build trust and stronger self-understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving how a person copes with crises and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Then they will try approaches that fit the client’s needs and adjust over time based on what actually helps.
Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates and ongoing practice between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible to fit work, caregiving, and location constraints.
