01About Deanna

Deanna Childers meets people where they are and helps them take the next step when life feels overwhelming. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related challenges, and family conflict. Deanna is an Illinois LCPC, and her approach is practical and down-to-earth.

She has about 10 years of experience, including internship, postgraduate training, and work leading to licensure. That background means she has seen a range of situations and knows common patterns that get in the way of day-to-day functioning.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, manageable changes rather than big theory-heavy plans. In conversation, Deanna creates an open space where feelings and thoughts are named and understood. She talks with people about what matters most to them and helps set simple goals.

Parents who feel stuck with discipline, routines, or communication often find concrete strategies to try between sessions. For people coping with anxiety, panic, or social fears, she breaks problems into clear steps and practices skills that reduce overwhelm. When ADHD or low motivation is getting in the way, she helps build practical routines and realistic expectations.

Deanna believes that starting therapy takes courage, and she highlights small progress along the way. Her style is calm and encouraging, aimed at helping people build skills and feel more capable in daily life.

04Online support

Practical approaches you can use online

Evidence-based techniques focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing and grounding techniques, stepwise exposure to feared situations, and strategies to manage panic attacks. These methods help people reduce immediate anxiety and build confidence in manageable steps.

A second approach centers on behavioral routines and structure to address ADHD and low motivation. That includes breaking tasks into smaller pieces, building consistent daily routines, and experimenting with reminders and short practice sessions to improve follow-through.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and current needs. Together they set small goals, try methods in session, and adjust plans based on what actually helps.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when a deeper check-in is needed. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling family, work, and other commitments.
