More about Deana

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am an attuned, client centered Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), licensed to practice in Florida and North Carolina, with experience supporting a wide range of client needs and life experiences. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, personality disorders, relationship challenges, burnout, identity exploration, and major life transitions, as well as seasonal or emotional shifts that can leave you feeling stuck or disconnected.

My approach is integrative, trauma informed, and holistic, blending evidence-based therapies with care for the whole person mind, body, and spirit. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and use it to help clients process trauma, reduce emotional distress, and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe and supportive.

I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and with a broad spectrum of concerns, including complex trauma and long-standing patterns that may feel difficult to change. I welcome and respect all spiritual beliefs, worldviews, and identities. Whether you’re deeply spiritual, casually curious, grounded in science, exploring astrology and energy cycles, or simply experiencing a challenging season of life (retrograde or not), you are welcome here.

I believe therapy should feel collaborative, grounded, and non-judgmental. Together, we’ll build insight, develop effective coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, and reconnect you with your inner resilience. My style is warm, steady, and practical, with a focus on helping you feel supported while working toward meaningful and sustainable change.

If you’re looking for a therapist who honors both science and spirituality, understands trauma and complex emotional patterns, and recognizes that growth is not always linear, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
