Sessions are practical and grounded. Expect clear communication, respectful listening, and steps you can try between meetings. DeAnna aims to help each person build skills that fit their daily life and values.

How her approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set their own goals. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and major life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, addictions, and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help with anger, anxiety, caregiver stress, and grief by building steadier responses to difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the supported session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. Some formats also make brief check-ins or phone conversations easier when needed. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in virtual settings to help people build skills and cope with everyday challenges.
