Deanna Abraham, LPC

Deanna Abraham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and changes in life. She brings 15 years of counseling experience and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable. Parents and young adults reading this will find straightforward language and a calm, steady approach in sessions.

She centers the person in the room and treats each client as the expert on their life. Deanna uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered work to shape a plan together. That plan usually includes small, doable steps and ways to track progress.

Her background includes work across levels of care and earlier experience as an associate certified Applied Behavior Analyst. Those roles influenced her practical focus on behavior and routine, especially when stress, trauma, or addictive patterns are involved. She draws on that mix to tailor interventions to each client's needs.

Sessions emphasize clear goals, coping skills, and strategies for managing strong emotions like anger, panic, or shame. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, sexual assault or abuse, and process-related addictions. Deanna aims to build skills clients can use after therapy ends.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She listens first, helps set realistic targets, and adjusts methods as goals change. The result is therapy that is practical, warm, and focused on daily functioning.

Therapeutic tools and online formats that fit your life

Deanna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors and practicing different responses to reduce anxiety, low mood, or panic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings.

She treats finding the right approach as a joint process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods until something clicks. Clients and the therapist set specific goals together and check progress regularly to make sure the approach is useful and changes are meaningful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text are convenient for brief check-ins, coping skills between sessions, or people who prefer written communication. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
