About DeAndrea

DeAndrea Peterson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who brings 14 years of experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, trauma, addiction, and related issues.

Background and approach

She approaches each client as the expert of their own story and emphasizes practical, down-to-earth interventions that are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Her style aims to uncover strengths and apply clear, manageable tools so clients can make steady progress toward their goals.

Raised with a desire to help others, she combines real-world perspective with formal training in counseling and psychology.

Peterson’s background includes work in residential, non-traditional educational, and outpatient settings, and she draws on that varied experience to address concerns such as intimacy-related issues, anger, career transitions, postpartum and perinatal matters, and family dynamics like adoption, blended families, and caregiver stress.

She values collaboration and gentle persistence, helping people move forward at a pace that fits their circumstances while offering strategies from evidence-based approaches to support lasting change.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy That Fits Your Life

DeAndrea often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person’s experience, building a supportive partnership that helps clients explore values, strengths, and goals. CBT offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, preferences, and goals. That collaborative exploration allows adjustments over time so the plan aligns with what is most helpful in day-to-day life.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, try different tools between sessions, and access therapeutic support from wherever clients are located in Alabama. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions used in person to these remote formats to support steady progress and practical skill-building.
