About DeAnna

DeAnna Graham is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina who brings 13 years of experience to her work.

Background and approach

She centers therapy on a client-focused approach that encourages self-exploration and practical problem solving, helping people identify resources and options to improve daily functioning and well-being. Her background includes supportive counseling, case management, and work with diverse challenges such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD.

Graham has supported clients facing barriers across mental, social, emotional, developmental, physical, and economic domains, drawing on skills in communication, organization, and problem solving to tailor interventions. She combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to address self-esteem, career and life transitions, caregiving and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, and multicultural concerns.

Her practice emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can share thoughts and feelings and develop pro-social autonomy and lasting coping tools. She views the therapeutic process as collaborative and growth-oriented, encouraging clients to take courageous first steps toward greater fulfillment.

DeAnna frames progress around realistic goals and practical strategies that fit each person’s circumstances and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Growth and Resilience

DeAnna uses client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the center of work, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better coping strategies. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help ground attention, build present-moment awareness, and reduce stress through simple practices that complement other work.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative orientation helps tailor sessions to issues like relationship concerns, caregiving stress, career transitions, ADHD-related challenges, or coping with loss.

Online sessions are offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and select the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person. Working with licensed professionals in this way supports consistent, goal-oriented progress from wherever clients are located in North Carolina.
