About LaDeana

LaDeana Artis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 13 years of experience. She draws on a broad clinical background to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and relationship challenges, and she lists ADHD among her focus areas.

Background and approach

Her work integrates evidence-based methods with a person-centered stance to adapt to each client's specific situation and goals. Her style emphasizes collaboration and practical skills alongside deeper exploration of attachment patterns, emotion regulation, and coping strategies.

LaDeana combines cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical skills with attachment-based and acceptance-oriented practices, selecting interventions to address issues such as intimacy concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem, career transitions, and complicated grief. She frames therapy as a joint process of identifying change goals, building resilience, and developing sustainable ways of managing life stressors.

LaDeana welcomes clients seeking a respectful, attuned therapeutic relationship and offers sessions in a variety of remote formats. With experience across many presenting problems, she prioritizes tailoring treatment to each individual's needs while helping clients build concrete tools for everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take committed actions toward meaningful goals; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support people struggling with emotional volatility or relationship difficulties.

Finding the best approach is collaborative: the therapist will work with each person to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine techniques from different models as appropriate. This means treatment is tailored over time rather than fixed at the outset, with ongoing discussion about what is helping and what might be adjusted.

Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between appointments while working with a licensed professional.
