About Deanna

Deanna Rasnic is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 28 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, trauma, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on long experience with family and adoption-related concerns, blended family dynamics, parenting challenges, and issues around attachment and body image to guide clients toward clearer thinking and practical change. Her work often addresses both present difficulties and how past hurts influence current patterns, with attention to intimacy, communication, and self-esteem.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete strategies for coping and progress. Colleagues and clients find her empathetic, straightforward, and practical; she aims to balance genuine concern with honest feedback and actionable recommendations.

Deanna has a background in individual, marital, adolescent, and family counseling across independent practice and agency settings, and she brings particular familiarity with adoption processes and post-placement support. Her approach focuses on helping people gain insight, work through healing, and move forward with renewed direction and skills.

Online Cognitive Behavioral Work and Flexible Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and reframe negative thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior change. In online sessions this method translates into collaborative homework, thought records, and skill-building exercises tailored to daily life challenges.

Deanna’s practical, direct style complements CBT by focusing on clear steps clients can take between sessions to practice new skills and measure progress. She also draws on problem-solving and family-oriented perspectives when relationships, parenting, adoption, or blended-family dynamics are central to a client’s concerns. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques fit the person’s needs and goals, with the approach adjusted over time through shared discussion and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to fit therapy into busy lives and connect from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing guidance, teach coping tools, and support clients in applying strategies in real-world settings, all while accommodating scheduling and communication preferences.
