About Aleta
Aleta (Deonne) O'Quinn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She brings 12 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her work focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about painful events and confusing feelings. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing isolation. She supports people coping with addiction, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and anger, among other concerns.
How Aleta works
Aleta uses several well-established therapy methods to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions.
She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make therapy feel collaborative and emotionally safe, and she uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when people need skills for intense emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs work on closeness and intimacy-related issues. Her practice pays attention to background factors such as attachment, adoption and foster care history, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and aging concerns.
People who want straightforward, compassionate guidance and clear tools to cope with life’s challenges often find her approach useful.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Aleta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing strategies to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions, which can help with grief, chronic stress, and pain.She also brings Client-Centered Therapy into remote sessions, which means the person’s goals guide the work and the therapist provides steady, nonjudgmental support. Finding the right approach is part of the process; she will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single technique.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, while live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help integrate therapy into busy days and different routines.
