About Deanna

Deanna Mullins is an LCSW with two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and consider new ways of responding to challenges. Her background includes work across health, behavioral, and life-stress concerns, and she brings practical tools to support coping, emotional regulation, and problem solving.

Her style blends evidence-based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each individual. Deanna aims to empower clients to take the first steps toward meaningful change while honoring their pace and values.

Licensed in Idaho and Oregon under LCSW credentials, she combines clinical skill with a collaborative, compassionate approach to help clients build resilience and pursue more fulfilling daily lives.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care

Deanna frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR when shaping online treatment. ACT focuses on helping people clarify personal values and move toward meaningful action while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings; it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and adapting to life changes. EMDR is an approach that works with distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms by using guided processing techniques to reduce emotional intensity and support adaptive resolution.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, review what methods feel most useful, and adjust techniques over time so the plan fits each individual's needs and preferences rather than following a fixed protocol.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent work around daily responsibilities, maintain momentum between meetings, and choose the communication style that best supports progress.
