How Deanna’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Deanna uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing is a conversational method she uses when a person feels unsure about change; it helps uncover personal reasons to move forward and build momentum.Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t helping, she and the client adjust the plan together until it feels useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, and progress notes that fit into busy days. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around work, family, and medical demands.
