About Deidre
Deidre Campen is a licensed professional counselor clinical candidate (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and parenting stress. She brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage everyday life.
Her first aim is to make people feel heard and respected while they figure out next steps. She describes her style as warm and interactive.
Background and approach
Sessions include listening, gentle questions, and clear ideas to try between meetings. Deidre adapts conversations to a person's pace and priorities rather than using one fixed plan. Deidre combines approaches that encourage self-awareness with tools for changing unhelpful habits.
She uses methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and short-term solution-focused strategies. These are chosen to match specific concerns like mood shifts, attention challenges, or coping after loss. Her background includes ten years of professional practice.
She also draws on personal experience managing ADHD in daily life and parenting. That perspective can make practical strategies more relatable for people juggling work, family, and health needs. People meet her for a mix of skills training, problem-solving, and emotional support.
Sessions often include homework, simple routines to try, and ongoing check-ins about what helps. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more manageable days.
How Deidre’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what she hears, and helps you name feelings and priorities to guide the work. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to sort emotions and find their own direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood swings because it gives clear steps to reduce symptoms.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through brief practices and awareness exercises. It helps people notice stress patterns and choose calmer responses instead of reacting automatically.
Choosing a fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing problem-solving and brief updates between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use techniques in real life.
