About DeAnna
DeAnna Graham is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with 13 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing relationship struggles, parenting stress, anxiety, and life transitions. DeAnna aims to make the first step feel manageable and offers steady guidance through change.
DeAnna centers sessions on the person in front of her and listens to what matters most. She draws on client-centered strategies to build trust, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness practices to help manage stress.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, so parents can try ideas between meetings. Her background includes work providing case management and supportive counseling for people facing barriers such as homelessness, trauma, and behavioral challenges. That experience informs her practical approach to problem solving, organization, and communication.
She supports people working through grief, addiction, anger, and caregiver strain. DeAnna also helps with life and career decisions, self-esteem, and issues tied to identity and relationships. She pays attention to family dynamics and blended family concerns while keeping the focus on individual goals.
Sessions often include planning simple steps, practicing new ways to communicate, and crafting routines that fit daily life. People who choose DeAnna can expect calm, consistent support and a focus on small, evidence-informed changes. She works with a range of concerns including ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimate relationship issues, and she offers several online formats to suit busy schedules.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. Online sessions use that same approach by giving time to understand what matters most and by shaping sessions around personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress; online meetings can include reviewing thoughts, trying new responses, and assigning short practice tasks between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase emotional awareness, which works well in brief in-session exercises and daily practice reminders.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That process is flexible and adapts over time as needs change and progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and role-play, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and chat or text can support quick coaching, daily check-ins, or short homework reviews. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and parenting schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
