Background and approach
Sessions focus on current challenges and how the past affects today. Deanna commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going.

She also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, attachment and family of origin issues, and divorce or blended family challenges. Her background includes long experience in agency settings and more than a decade in independent practice. That mix has given her familiarity with adoption processes, pre- and post-placement counseling, and varied family situations.
Deanna draws on practical tools gathered across her career to help people move forward. Sessions are offered in English from Texas and she accepts international clients. She aims to provide straightforward, compassionate help so people can reduce distress and build clearer next steps for daily life.
How CBT and online therapy fit your life
Deanna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, relationship patterns, and many everyday struggles by teaching practical tools to test and change thinking and behavior.Her work is collaborative. She will help clients choose which approaches to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track what is working and adjust methods so the therapy feels useful and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people meet face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit brief check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
