About LaDeana
LaDeana Artis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience as a therapist. She practices in New Jersey and brings steady, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship or parenting struggles. She is straightforward and calm in session, helping clients talk through what feels unmanageable and find doable steps forward.
She uses a person-centered style that adapts to each client. That means she listens first, then offers tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when useful.
Background and approach
She also applies attachment-based ideas to understand family patterns and relationship hurts. Sessions often focus on concrete skills for coping with strong emotions, improving communication, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. For people dealing with trauma, LaDeana pays attention to safety and pacing so work moves at a tolerable speed.
She also addresses issues like addiction, body image, and caregiving stress with practical strategies and steady support. Families and those with parenting concerns will find she looks at patterns between people, not just symptoms in one person. She brings patience and a focus on workable change rather than theory-heavy sessions.
Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.
How her approaches guide online family and parenting work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where values and choices matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand how people connect, withdraw, or respond in family situations; this can help with parenting challenges and relationship repair.She approaches treatment as a team effort, helping clients figure out which tools fit their goals. That means trying approaches in session, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed method.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions around parenting, work, and other responsibilities, and allow follow-up or brief coaching between longer sessions when needed. Licensed professionals can still teach skills, practice communication techniques, and track progress effectively using these remote options.
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.
