About Deanna

Deanna Perrone, LCSW, works with people who want clearer relationships and steadier emotion. She meets clients where they are and helps them notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation so daily life can feel more manageable.

She centers relational work and pays attention to how past relationships affect present choices. Deanna uses a mix of methods that match each person's needs, including approaches that look at thoughts, coping skills, trauma, and loss. The work moves at the client’s pace and balances comfort with gentle challenges.

Over 14 years in practice, she has supported people through grief, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and stress from life changes. She also helps with intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, career stress, and complicated family situations such as blended households, adoption and foster care, and caregiving demands.

Her sessions explore attachment patterns, communication problems, abandonment wounds, and codependency. She aims to help clients break repetitive cycles and build a stronger sense of self. Meetings are collaborative and focused on concrete next steps.

Deanna practices in Texas and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. Sessions are conducted in English. If someone wants to begin, they can use the site Start Therapy option to match and schedule a time to talk.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-guided actions. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that worsen mood and functioning. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. Feedback during sessions guides adjustments so the work stays relevant and useful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people work with licensed professionals from different parts of Texas without needing to travel. If you have questions about how sessions will run, mention them during the matching or scheduling steps so the therapist can describe practical details.
