About Deanna

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, anger, and self-esteem issues.

She draws on many ways of working rather than a single method. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and strengths. Deanna focuses on clear goals and simple skills people can use between meetings.
How Deanna works
Her background includes community mental health centers, a foster and adoption agency, school settings, and intensive home-based counseling. Those roles gave extensive experience with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and post-traumatic stress. She learned to recognize how past losses and abandonment affect behavior and relationships.
In sessions she uses approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth, with attention to communication problems and isolation or loneliness. Deanna aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
She collaborates on a plan that fits each person. Her work emphasizes strengths, empathy, and steady progress toward clearer relationships and better coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people understand patterns in communication, fears of abandonment, and how to build more trusting connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and interaction patterns in relationships. It helps people name powerful feelings and work toward clearer communication and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deanna will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. The plan can change over time as progress is made or new priorities appear, with decisions made collaboratively.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful when visual cues matter, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can make it easier to fit a session into a work break. Live chat or text can be a shorter check-in or a way to stay connected between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to attend from wherever you are in Ohio.
