About Aleta
Aleta (Deonne) O'Quinn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through major life changes and strong emotions. She often works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, and substance-related issues.
Her approach is calm and practical, aimed at helping someone feel steadier day to day. Aleta centers sessions on each person's needs and pace. She listens first, then helps clients set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools to manage intense feelings and reduce overthinking. Many clients learn new ways to handle conflict and improve communication. Her work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.
She also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. Mindfulness practices are offered to bring attention back to the present moment. Aleta helps people sort through parenting stress and the emotional strain that comes with caregiving and blended family dynamics.
She also supports those facing grief, chronic illness, career transitions, and codependency patterns. Sessions aim for practical change rather than labels. People who prefer clear steps, hands-on coping strategies, and steady emotional support may find her style helpful.
She conducts sessions in English and practices from Georgia, offering several online formats to fit different schedules.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting the person where they are and offering empathic listening to help clarify values and goals. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship strain, and managing urges that feel out of control.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals, values, and day-to-day needs. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can help keep momentum between longer sessions and fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to get steady support while juggling work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
