Evidence-Based Approaches and Convenient Online Care

Deanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and focused on results.

She also integrates trauma-informed approaches that prioritize safety and pacing, supporting people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events to process their experiences and reduce symptoms.

In addition, Deanna works on interpersonal and communication skills to address relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and problems with setting boundaries. She approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each client to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Deanna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from home or while traveling, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the work clients want to do.
