About Deanna

Deanna Abraham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience and independent licensure since 2009, she draws on a background that includes work as an associate certified Applied Behavioral Analyst to inform a practical, strengths-based way of working. Deanna values clients as experts on their own lives and focuses on supporting meaningful change toward greater wellbeing.

Her practice addresses issues such as depression, bipolar mood concerns, panic and post-traumatic stress, process addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, parenting and caregiver stress, and questions of life purpose.

She uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor support to each person’s needs. Deanna approaches treatment collaboratively, aiming to reduce stigma and guide clients through recovery and self-actualization while helping them build skills for lasting improvement.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Deanna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and to develop practical strategies for reducing anxiety, managing mood symptoms, and changing unhelpful patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and building committed action toward meaningful life goals; ACT can be helpful for stress, depression, and coping with difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Deanna works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods and pacing so the work feels useful and manageable. That collaborative stance helps clients stay engaged and adjust strategies when needed.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for fitting sessions into busy schedules and for connecting from different locations within Texas. These formats allow ongoing skill-building, check-ins between sessions, and varied ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for the client.
