About Aleta
Aleta (Deonne) O'Quinn is an LPC in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience helping people navigate major life transitions and persistent emotional challenges.
Background and approach
She blends evidence-informed methods into a compassionate, individualized practice and works with concerns spanning depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and stress related to work and caregiving. Her style prioritizes collaboration and practical skill-building, guiding clients toward stronger coping strategies and clearer communication.
Aleta emphasizes self-compassion and resilience as foundations for change, supporting clients who face chronic pain, caregiver stress, blended family or attachment difficulties, and other complex issues. She integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques to help people process emotions and reshape unhelpful patterns.
Sessions focus on realistic steps and emotional processing tailored to each person’s goals, whether managing mood symptoms, addressing codependency or commitment concerns, or coping with life-altering events like illness or loss. Aleta aims to create a respectful therapeutic relationship that encourages growth, increased emotional insight, and practical tools for everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective responses; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work and helps build self-compassion and personal insight. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that are helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences during early sessions and adapt techniques from these approaches to fit each person’s needs, adjusting pace and focus as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care when life circumstances change. These formats support ongoing skill practice, real-time coaching, and steady therapeutic contact whether a client needs longer video sessions or shorter, more frequent messaging check-ins.
