About Deana

Deana Thuer is a licensed mental health practitioner (LMHP) based in Nebraska with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and attention difficulties including ADHD, plus a range of related issues like grief, anger, and substance-related problems. Deana favors approaches that combine validation with active challenge, blending Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR with techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as needed.

She has a particular interest in attachment wounds and personality-related patterns such as avoidant tendencies and codependency, and she supports clients working through shame, isolation, panic symptoms, and self-harm behaviors. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and she communicates in English.

Her style is direct and warm, intended for people who appreciate both empathy and honest feedback. Practical problem solving and skills-building are woven with deeper trauma-focused work so that clients can pursue immediate coping strategies while also addressing underlying patterns over time.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Offered Online

Deana integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside skills-based methods like Dialectical Behavior Therapy when appropriate. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action while building greater psychological flexibility, which can help with anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and symptoms that follow traumatic events, often used for post-traumatic stress and related distress.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist and client explore goals, history, and preferences together to determine which methods to emphasize. Deana tailors interventions over time, blending trauma-focused work with practical coping skills so the plan evolves as needs and progress become clearer.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and consistent access to care from home or work. These formats make it possible to continue therapy despite geographic or time constraints and allow clients to engage in the mix of processing and skill-building that fits their life and pace.
