About LaDeana

LaDeana Artis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 13 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad background in mental health care to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family struggles, addictions, grief, and a range of other concerns. Her work also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and disruptive mood challenges.

Her therapeutic style blends person-centered values with structured, evidence-informed methods. LaDeana uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailoring interventions to each client’s needs.

She emphasizes collaborative goal-setting, identifying practical skills and insights that fit a client’s life and priorities. Clients seeking a therapist who balances empathic listening with active, skills-based work may find her approach fitting.

Her practice offers multiple online session formats and supports people navigating life transitions, parenting and family conflicts, intimacy and sexual concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and career or self-esteem questions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to relieve symptoms and build practical coping skills. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday life challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, build psychological flexibility, and develop acceptance-based strategies to manage difficult emotions while pursuing meaningful actions. This approach can be useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, combining methods when appropriate to create a personalized plan. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the plan can be adjusted as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from home or another convenient location, support varied communication styles, and allow homework, skills practice, and therapy check-ins to fit into a client’s schedule.
