Background and approach

She focuses on building a trusting space where parents and family members can talk through problems without feeling judged. Sessions emphasize problem solving, improving communication, and boosting confidence. DeAnna draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities. DeAnna’s background includes counseling across many settings, including work with people facing grief, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and blended family dynamics. She has experience supporting those dealing with HIV/AIDS, end-of-life and hospice matters, multicultural concerns, and compassion fatigue.

This variety informs a flexible, practical approach to common family stresses. In sessions she helps clients break down big problems into small, doable steps. She supports parents with communication strategies, behavior management ideas, and ways to manage anger or overwhelm.

DeAnna emphasizes realistic goals and steady progress. She offers help in plain language and works collaboratively on strategies that fit each family’s life. People who want straightforward guidance and steady support often find her approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s priorities. It helps parents and family members feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, stress, parenting reactions, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, helping with overwhelm and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean combining listening-based work with CBT techniques or adding short mindfulness exercises as needed. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options can make it easier for busy parents and caregivers to fit sessions into their schedules and to use brief check-ins when that is helpful. Remote sessions still let therapists teach strategies, review progress, and coach through real-life family moments, while offering more convenience for those managing work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
