About Deidre

Deidre Campen is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who focuses on parenting and a range of life challenges. She offers practical help for anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, grief, and anger. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to treat people with respect and compassion.

Deidre draws on ten years of professional experience to guide conversations toward manageable steps. She listens first, then suggests tools that fit everyday life.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward, with attention to what the person or parent needs right now. Her work includes support after trauma or abuse and assistance with coping during major life changes. Deidre also helps people facing compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, or the challenges that come with chronic illness and caregiving.

She addresses communication and control issues in ways that focus on practical change. Deidre uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods. That mix allows her to combine skills practice, present-moment awareness, and a focus on clients' goals.

She adapts the approach to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are available in English and delivered online through multiple formats. The process often begins with a short questionnaire to match needs, followed by scheduling according to the therapist's availability.

Deidre aims to help people build small, clear steps toward better coping and improved daily functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort through parenting or life stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at specific thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or handle ADHD-related routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus during stressful moments.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their life and preferences. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust techniques and focus on what helps most over time.

Online therapy in this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. People can choose a format that fits their day, whether they need a longer video session or quick check-ins by message. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into parenting and work routines more smoothly.

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.
