Evidence-based approaches for online care
Deana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts, clarify values, and take meaningful action even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and building practical coping skills.
EMDR is used as a tool to process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions. It is offered at a pace that feels manageable and supportive for each person.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Deana treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help weigh options based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods as progress unfolds so people get what fits them best.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper discussion. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or fitting support into a busy day. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into daily life.
