Deanna uses narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She applies EMDR for trauma-related concerns and ERP for obsessive-compulsive symptoms. In sessions she guides people through specific steps, practices, and reflections rather than relying on jargon.

Her areas of focus include LGBT concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, dissociation, and mood disorders. She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, domestic violence impacts, isolation and shame, and challenges tied to autism and Asperger syndrome.

Deanna works only with adults and sees trauma-related disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, dissociative disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders. She aims to help clients build clearer coping skills, reduce intrusive symptoms, and find more satisfying ways to relate to themselves and others.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace and tailored techniques. Deanna blends structured exercises with guided reflection to match each person’s needs and goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Deanna commonly uses narrative therapy, EMDR, and exposure and response prevention in her work. Narrative therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about their lives and try out different, more helpful ways of understanding events. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a stepwise method for reducing obsessive-compulsive symptoms by practicing controlled exposures and resisting compulsive responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. If an approach needs adjustment, she and the client will change plans together based on what feels helpful and what progress is made.

Many people find online sessions convenient for fitting therapy into their day. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact online options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
