About Deanna

She works with adults on trauma, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive concerns, dissociation, and neurodevelopmental issues. Her stated approaches include narrative therapy, EMDR, and exposure and response prevention for OCD.
Deanna uses narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how life events and relationships shape personal meaning.

Exposure and response prevention is applied for obsessive-compulsive symptoms to reduce compulsive responses over time.

Deanna works with adults navigating divorce and separation and those affected by domestic violence. She includes support for people on the autism spectrum and for mood disorders. Her practice notes dissociation as a focus area when it relates to trauma and stress.
Her academic background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kent State University and an Educational Specialist degree in Counseling.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Deanna lists narrative therapy as a primary approach. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate problems from identity. It can be useful for attachment concerns, guilt, and life purpose questions.EMDR is named for trauma-focused work. This method uses guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity. It is commonly applied for trauma-related disorders and symptoms of dissociation.
Exposure and response prevention is used for obsessive-compulsive symptoms. ERP involves gradual, supported exposure to feared situations while reducing compulsive responses. It aims to change learned avoidance patterns that maintain anxiety and compulsions.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, symptom patterns, and preferences to decide which approach or combination will be most helpful. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when helpful, and choosing quieter surroundings that work for the client. The biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm available session options before booking.
