About Deanna
Deanna Perrone is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people dealing with relationship pain, grief, anxiety, and major life changes. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims to make sessions feel calm and manageable. Parents and individuals looking for steady, practical support will find straightforward guidance in her work.
Her background includes 14 years of clinical experience and a Texas LCSW license. Deanna creates a space where clients can talk through emotions and patterns without judgment.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how past relationships and early experiences shape current choices. That perspective helps identify repeating habits and where change might begin. Her approach draws from several methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies to address thoughts and behaviors, attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns, and acceptance-based techniques to cope with difficult feelings.
She adapts these tools to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions move at a pace set by the client. Deanna balances comfort with gentle challenge, aiming to build self-awareness and stronger day-to-day coping.
Practical skills are paired with deeper reflection when it feels useful. People commonly bring concerns about anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, trauma, parenting stress, intimacy issues, and life transitions. Deanna blends talk therapy with concrete steps so people can try new ways of handling problems between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small steps toward what matters. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, grief, and life changes where values-based action matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries in relationships. It can be helpful when intimacy, communication, or abandonment issues are a concern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which combination of methods makes sense based on goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions around busy schedules, keep continuity when life is unpredictable, and use brief check-ins or longer conversations as needed. A mix of practical tools and talking through patterns can be delivered across these remote formats to support steady progress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
