About Deanna

Deanna Perrone is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who works with adults navigating relationship concerns, trauma, grief, mood disorders, ADHD, anxiety, and major life transitions. She emphasizes helping people understand how past and present relationships shape current patterns so they can move toward more authentic, intentional living.

Background and approach

With 14 years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her style balances empathy with gentle challenge, creating a space to explore unconscious drivers, attachment dynamics, and recurring reactions.

Sessions often focus on increasing self-awareness, developing coping skills, and breaking free from repetitive cycles that limit functioning and well-being. Deanna integrates relational perspectives with approaches that address thoughts, behaviors, and motivation so the work can include insight, practical tools, or both.

Based in Texas, she offers multiple online session formats to accommodate varied schedules and preferences. Prospective clients are invited to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability to determine whether her approach and experience are a good fit for their goals.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what truly matters to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, coping with life changes, and improving daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful reactions; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may blend relational exploration with skill-based work so clients gain both insight and concrete tools as appropriate.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. These options allow consistent engagement from different locations and make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions while tailoring communication style to what feels most comfortable for the client.
