How Deanna uses evidence-based techniques online
Deanna names narrative therapy as a core way she works. Narrative therapy involves looking at how a person’s story is told and finding different perspectives. It can help when past events or repeating patterns make social situations feel harder.She also uses EMDR for trauma-related symptoms. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distress tied to memories through guided processing. For obsessive-compulsive concerns she uses exposure and response prevention, which involves gradual, supported practice with feared situations and learning new responses.
Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and what feels manageable, then try techniques that fit those priorities. Sessions can be adjusted over time if something isn’t working as hoped.
