DeShaun Reed, LCSW

DeShaun Reed is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Tennessee with four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and depression. She encourages people to take the first step toward support and acknowledges that starting therapy can feel difficult.

Her approach centers on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and to identify small, practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. She pays attention to the impact of life transitions and helps people navigate those changes.

DeShaun addresses related concerns such as body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, and money or workplace stress. She also supports people facing midlife crisis, sexuality questions, social anxiety, narcissism-related issues, and women's issues. Conversation stays focused on the person in front of her and what they want to change.

In sessions she listens and offers feedback that is straightforward and useful. Goals are set collaboratively and progress is checked regularly. The work can include coping skills, stress management, and strategies to rebuild self-worth after a setback.

She works in English and practices under her Tennessee LCSW credential. If you want to begin, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire so scheduling can follow the best fit between needs and availability.

Approach and online therapy options

DeShaun uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common technique helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and brief behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. Another technique focuses on rebuilding self-esteem through small, achievable steps and by identifying and challenging unhelpful self-talk.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to figure out which techniques match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The process emphasizes collaboration, steady pacing, and checking in about what helps and what does not.

If you are interested in online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include greater flexibility to fit appointments around work or family time, the ability to have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and fewer barriers to attending when travel would be difficult. Talk with her after the matching questionnaire to learn which session formats are offered and which might work best for your situation.
