01About Deana
Deana Sprouse is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing grief, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, and stress. She supports those coping with life changes, low self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her tone is straightforward and practical, focused on small steps that make daily life easier.
She has about 20 years of experience across many settings. That includes work in psychiatric hospitals, community mental health centers, substance abuse treatment programs, and correctional institutions.
Background and approach
Those roles gave her a wide view of how different problems show up in people’s lives. Deana uses a client-centered approach. She listens first and follows the person’s lead, helping them identify strengths they may not notice.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Solution-focused methods are part of her work too. She and the client set clear, achievable goals and map small steps toward them.
Educational materials and structured resources are often added into sessions to support progress and practice new skills between meetings. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Deana helps people weigh options, try new behaviors, and track what works.
The focus is on usable tools that fit day-to-day life and lead to steady improvements.

04Online support
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. In online sessions that means the therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps them discover strengths to build on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; online CBT often uses worksheets, short exercises, and realtime practice to change patterns that keep problems going. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, practical goals and small steps; over video or text this can be used to set specific targets and track progress week to week.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan based on what works. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they fit the person's needs and preferences.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to check in between sessions or to get brief coaching and reminders. These options make consistent, ongoing work possible even with busy schedules.
