About Neva
Neva Deschner is a Texas-based licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience. She centers therapy on practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. Neva aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on small, achievable changes.

How Neva works
Additional focus areas include domestic violence, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and building self-love. In sessions Neva treats the person, not just symptoms. She asks about goals and daily struggles, then introduces tools that can be used between meetings.
Expect clear steps, feedback, and check-ins to see what works and what needs adjusting. Neva values each person's knowledge of their own story. She helps people name strengths and use them to meet new challenges.
The work is collaborative and paced to fit a person’s life and needs. Therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Sessions are offered in English and she is licensed as a LCSW in Texas.

How CBT and DBT work online
Neva uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that increase distress. CBT focuses on practical skills like identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be useful when emotions feel intense or when relationships create repeated conflict, and they translate well to skills practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which skills to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face for skill demonstrations and role plays. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework review, and ongoing skills practice between meetings, making it easier to keep momentum.
