About Deanna
She creates a nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and patterns that keep repeating. Deanna pays attention to how past and present relationships shape everyday life. Sessions focus on building self-understanding and practical steps people can use between appointments.
Relational work is a central part of her practice. She looks at unconscious drives and internal conflicts that affect intimacy and attachment. At the same time she draws on approaches that address thoughts, behavior, motivation, and coping skills when those fit the issue.
Deanna balances gentle challenges with support so people can try new ways of relating and managing stress. She aims for lasting change by helping clients identify what matters to them and take manageable steps toward it. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and steady progress.
With 14 years of experience as an LCSW she practices in Texas and works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, parenting stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and recovery from domestic violence or past abuse. She encourages prospective clients to consider whether her style feels like a good fit before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Deanna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then take actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people form more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship where the persons goals guide the work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Sessions can blend approaches so the work matches the clients needs rather than sticking to a single model.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow meetings from wherever a person is most comfortable. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler and allow work with a therapist based in Texas without commuting. Ask about the practical session options available when you schedule to find what suits your routine.
