About Deanna
Deanna Rasnic is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 28 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a range of other concerns. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more capable in daily life.
Deanna listens with empathy and speaks plainly to help clients sort what matters most. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, working with how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.
How Deanna works
Deanna looks at how past events affect today and helps people test new ways of coping. Sessions often include clear suggestions and short exercises to try between visits. Her history includes long experience in independent practice and agency settings.
She has worked with many aspects of adoption and foster care, including pre- and post-placement support for birth parents, adoptive parents, and adopted children. That background informs her approach when adoption or attachment issues come up. Deanna describes her style as empathetic, non-judgmental, direct, honest, and practical.
She aims to give straightforward observations and workable ideas rather than vague reassurance. The focus is on steps that help a person feel less stuck and move toward goals. People who choose her can expect a counselor who combines warmth with clear feedback.
She helps clients address emotional pain, set healthier boundaries, and rebuild their daily routines after loss, separation, or other life changes.

How CBT and Online Sessions Work Together
Deanna primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how you feel. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, eating concerns, and many everyday problems where thinking and behavior interact.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, needs, and preferences, then suggest ways to proceed. Together they adjust techniques and pace so the work feels manageable and relevant to the person’s life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and do longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, brief coping strategies, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life and to continue care if travel or relocation occurs.
