DeShaun Reed, LCSW

DeShaun Reed is a licensed LCSW in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She works with individuals coping with loss, low motivation, changes in self-esteem and confidence, and the many challenges that come with life transitions. Her practice focuses on practical support and collaborative care, tailoring interventions to each person's circumstances and goals.

As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has completed graduate social work training and supervised clinical hours - she brings professional training and clinical expertise to her work while maintaining a warm, approachable manner. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely and where clients can experiment with new ways of coping.

DeShaun recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and honors the step of reaching out for support. She partners with clients to set realistic goals, build coping skills, and move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

DeShaun draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build skills and find relief from persistent concerns. She often uses skills-based approaches that teach practical coping strategies - such as breathing, grounding, and problem-solving - to reduce stress and manage anxiety. She also employs emotion-focused work that helps people process grief and depressive symptoms by exploring feelings and developing healthier ways to respond to them. Behavioral strategies may be used to increase motivation and re-engage with meaningful activities when low mood or life changes have taken a toll.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. DeShaun works together with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and respected in their care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from home, and try different communication styles to see what works best for each individual.
