About Deanna

Deanna Dillard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a long history of working with people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, substance-related challenges, and a wide range of relationship and intimacy issues. Her practice also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and diverse concerns including LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, multicultural matters, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Her style emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients are invited to explore thoughts and feelings openly. Deanna blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and insight-oriented approaches to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and navigate life transitions.

She aims to empower people to identify goals and take steady steps toward a more satisfying life while tailoring methods to each person's needs and context.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Deanna integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a respectful space where the client's experience guides the pace of change, which can be helpful for exploring identity, relationship concerns, and emotional distress. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, mood concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and coping skills development.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting concerns, combining listening, practical strategies, and occasional structured exercises so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to access consistent care, try different session styles, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
