Andrea Deases, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Andrea

Andrea Deases is a Licensed Professional Counselor who centers her work on listening closely and helping people find practical steps forward. She uses clear, goal-focused conversations to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and mood concerns. Parents and families will find straightforward support for relationship and family challenges.

Andrea aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Andrea earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler.

Background and approach

She has worked in Texas since 2016 and brings five years of focused counseling experience to her current practice as an LPC. Her background includes crisis work with people facing severe mood episodes and community-based counseling with families. In sessions she listens first, then collaborates on clear goals.

Andrea blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools, plus narrative and mindfulness methods when useful. She draws from these approaches to teach coping skills, shift unhelpful thinking, and improve communication at home. Andrea also focuses on adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, workplace stress, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.

She supports people coping with life changes, grief, and building self-love. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at helping people make steady progress. Sessions are offered in English from a Texas practice.

Andrea approaches each case without a fixed formula and tailors steps to each family’s needs. If a parent or caregiver wants clear tools and calm guidance, she works to make therapy useful and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online family support

Andrea commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and helping them find their own answers, which is useful for building trust and improving family communication. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help people manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a family’s goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts strategies over time so the plan matches what a parent or caregiver wants to work on and what actually helps at home.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let families fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities. Remote formats also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation during follow up.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
