About Deidere
Deidere Hollins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 13 years of clinical work. She focuses on practical, everyday concerns like anger, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed.
In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through worries and think about next steps. She helps people address concentration and focus challenges often associated with ADHD, and she supports folks navigating relationship strain, parenting questions, and career stress.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented. Deidere uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns in thinking and try small changes that can shift mood and behavior. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions guided by the person’s priorities.
Motivational interviewing techniques are used when someone needs help finding internal reasons to change. Her style favors short-term, solution-focused work when appropriate, with clear steps people can try between meetings. She encourages practical experiments and small goals rather than long lectures.
People who want direct feedback, concrete strategies, and a steady, encouraging presence often find this approach helpful. The tone in session is supportive and action-minded, aimed at helping clients feel more equipped to handle daily challenges.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy places the client at the center of each session, meaning the conversation follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals based on their priorities rather than preset agendas.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, stress, low mood, and focus challenges.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons to try different behaviors and supports small, sustainable steps forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the client’s goals, pace, and comfort level. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed.
Online care by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it possible to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep progress going from home, work, or while traveling. These formats offer flexibility for short check-ins, real-time conversations, or written exchanges, allowing the therapist and client to pick what works best for their process.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
