How cognitive approaches guide online work

Deanna uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them against reality, and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or anger. This approach is practical and goal oriented, which some people find helpful during life transitions.

She also emphasizes addressing how past hurts affect present life. That means talking about past events, seeing how they shape reactions now, and practicing different responses. This work can help with relationship problems, attachment concerns, and patterns such as codependency or avoidance.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their goals and preferences. Sessions can include trying techniques in real life and reviewing what worked, so the plan adjusts as needs change.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered. Before booking, confirm current options so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone avoid being on camera when that helps them focus.
