Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan, LPC

Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who invites people ready to reclaim greater balance in their thoughts, feelings, and emotions to take the next step toward change. With over 10 years of experience providing career counseling and more than five years supporting clients facing anxiety, burnout, stress, depression, and related concerns, she blends practical guidance with empathetic listening to help clients move forward.

She views emotional states as fluid - sometimes high, sometimes dangerously low - and uses that image to guide collaborative work aimed at replenishing personal resources. A guiding idea in her practice is the saying "you can't pour from an empty cup" and she focuses on helping clients discover sustainable ways to refill their cup so they can continue building themselves and supporting others.

Her approach centers on engaging clients as active partners from the very beginning, tailoring methods to each individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Concepts and techniques are adapted to match a client's needs, goals, and life context. Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan encourages steady progress and offers supportive, goal-oriented care to help clients find renewed well-being and balance.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's goals and values shape the work - this approach emphasizes active listening and collaboration to help clients explore what matters most to them. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and teach practical strategies for changing behaviors and managing symptoms; CBT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and depression. In addition, she incorporates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship challenges are a focus - DBT offers concrete tools for coping in intense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works together with each client to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and useful.

Online therapy with Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home, work, or wherever a client is most comfortable.
