About Dea

Dea Robinson brings 14 years of clinical experience and a background in military mental health to her counseling work.

Background and approach

After serving as a Corpsman and Psychiatric Technician in the US Navy, she completed a degree in clinical counseling and has since practiced across crisis and emergency settings, inpatient and outpatient programs, school-based therapy, and primary care.

Her experience includes work in addictions, day treatment for teens, and support for individuals with Autism and ADHD as well as familiarity with psychotropic medications.

Robinson draws on a range of therapeutic methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), while also integrating somatic techniques, bilateral exercises, and creative art interventions when helpful.

She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, ADHD, trauma, and coping with life changes among many others. Based in Indiana, she offers a collaborative, practical approach that helps clients build strategies tailored to their goals and day-to-day challenges.

How specific therapies translate to online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward what matters, often addressing anxiety, stress, and life transitions through mindfulness and behavior change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and the body's responses to them; elements of EMDR can be adapted to talk-based and guided online sessions for processing past events.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to evaluate symptoms, goals, and personal preferences and then recommend or combine methods that fit each person's situation. That collaborative stance helps tailor interventions and adjust course as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible around daily life and scheduling constraints. These formats allow ongoing skill-building, real-time support, and regular check-ins while accommodating different comfort levels with technology and communication styles.
