Background and approach
She also incorporates EMDR for trauma-related symptoms and ERP for obsessive-compulsive patterns. Those approaches are used to reduce distressing memories, interrupt compulsive cycles, and build a different relationship with upsetting thoughts. She works with adults who are dealing with mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, dissociation, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
She also supports people coping with attachment and abandonment issues, body image concerns, relationship communication problems, and the emotional aftermath of separation and domestic violence. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings.
Deanna aims to help clients set realistic goals and track small changes over time. Based in Ohio, she brings six years of clinical experience to her practice. People who value clear explanations and a focused plan often find her approach helpful.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Deanna uses several evidence-based techniques that can be adapted for remote work. Narrative therapy involves talking through personal stories to find new meaning and patterns; it helps with mood, identity, and relationship concerns by clarifying how past events shape current reactions. EMDR is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by processing distressing images and feelings in structured sessions. ERP focuses on facing feared thoughts and preventing compulsive responses, which helps reduce OCD-related rituals and anxiety over time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your history, goals, and what feels manageable, then suggest methods and adjust them as you go. Clients help set the pace and decide which techniques fit best with their needs and comfort level.
Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy days because it removes travel time and lets sessions happen from everyday locations. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity during life transitions and allows for flexible scheduling. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the exact online options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
