More about Deana

  • 17 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring 17 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing mood disorders, social anxiety, communication difficulties, and addiction recovery.

My approach is compassionate and collaborative, designed to empower individuals in understanding themselves more deeply. I'm particularly skilled at supporting clients through midlife transitions, personality challenges, and seasonal emotional shifts. Whether you're struggling with interpersonal dynamics or seeking strategies for emotional resilience, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space for exploration and healing.

I believe in tailoring therapeutic strategies to each person's unique journey, focusing on building self-love, enhancing communication skills, and developing sustainable coping mechanisms. My goal is to walk alongside you as you cultivate greater emotional understanding and personal strength.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
