01About Deanna
Deanna Dillard is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 18 years of clinical experience to her practice in Georgia. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Her work also includes concerns such as addictions, grief, sleep and eating issues, and questions around identity and intimacy.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, try new ways of coping, and make choices that fit their life.
Background and approach
Deanna uses straightforward conversation and practical tools rather than jargon-packed explanations. Her background includes approaches that center the person, explore thinking patterns, and address relationship dynamics. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's lead.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when negative thoughts and habits are getting in the way. Deanna also uses existential ideas when people face big questions about meaning, identity, or life transitions. For relationship concerns she incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to address interaction patterns and communication skills.
These are used flexibly to match each person’s needs. She works with a wide range of life issues, including ADHD, compassion fatigue, gender dysphoria, hoarding, infidelity, and multicultural concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she is available to work with international clients.
The approach is practical and collaborative, focused on real steps people can try between sessions.

Approaches for online counseling and relationship work
Deanna uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's concerns and priorities. This approach focuses on listening closely and helping people name their goals, which can be helpful for stress, grief, and identity questions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and for building new coping skills between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps choose the mix of techniques that feel most useful for the person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief support, or when written reflection feels easier. Those options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care across locations.
