About Deanna
Deanna Mullins is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She works with individuals facing life changes, addictions, parenting strain, and challenges around self-esteem and anger. Her practice also addresses chronic illness, caregiver stress, and concerns common to veterans and first responders.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations are honest and practical. She aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to find manageable steps forward.
How Deanna works
Her approach blends evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness with acceptance-based strategies. EMDR is offered for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used to set achievable goals and build momentum.
Deanna draws on two decades of clinical work across Idaho and Oregon to tailor plans that fit each person’s situation. She explains methods in plain language and collaborates on goals so people understand what to expect. Progress is tracked in small, measurable steps rather than vague promises.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and are scheduled around the client’s routine. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, choose Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online healing
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life transitions where people want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, offers a method to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact when trauma is a central concern.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan based on how a person responds over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text can be used for quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping continuity of care.
