Deena Robertson, LPC

Deena Robertson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Her tone is warm and direct, designed for people who need straightforward help and clear next steps.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different actions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice difficult feelings and commit to meaningful behavior. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and trust in relationships.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Deena listens for what matters most to each person and crafts a plan that fits their life. She keeps language simple and offers practical skills to use between sessions.

With five years of clinical experience, she brings steady experience without complicated jargon. The LPC credential means she completed the required education and licensure in Virginia. Deena aims to make the steps forward manageable and realistic.

People who come for help often want to reduce panic, ease chronic worry, repair relationships, or rebuild confidence after hard times. She helps people break problems into smaller parts and practice new responses. The approach is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Deena commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can quickly translate into homework and practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also used to teach people how to notice difficult feelings, clarify values, and take actions that matter despite discomfort. Attachment-Based Therapy informs work on connection, trust, and communication patterns in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit their needs. That collaborative process lets the therapist and client adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video lets people work face to face when that helps, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing tracking between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when schedules or locations change.
