About Dea
Dea Robinson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience in clinical settings. She began her career in the US Navy as a Corpsman and Psychiatric Technician and later completed a degree in clinical counseling. Dea brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions and focuses on helping people manage everyday struggles.
Her background includes work in emergency and crisis care, addictions treatment, inpatient settings, day treatment for teens, school-based therapy, and outpatient primary care for children, teens, and adults.
How Dea works
She has familiarity with Autism, ADHD, and the effects of psychotropic medications. This range gives her experience with a broad set of concerns. Dea uses several therapeutic methods to tailor help to each person.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to look at unhelpful thinking patterns. She uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people sort values and take small steps toward them. She also brings in EMDR and motivational interviewing where they may fit.
Practical strategies often include somatic exercises, bilateral movements, and creative art activities. She also talks about food, mood, and basic nutrition when that relates to a person’s coping. Sessions are conversational and aimed at making useful changes that fit daily life.
Dea works from Indiana and offers sessions in English. She encourages people to share simple interests, like music, to build connection during work together.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and actions; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. EMDR addresses distress tied to painful memories through focused techniques that can reduce the intensity of those memories and the symptoms they cause. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and needs shift. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when in-depth dialogue and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be useful for a quicker check-in or when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or use a format that feels less formal. Together, these options provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family, and daily routines.Start online instead of waiting
