About Aleta
Aleta (Deonne) O'Quinn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, and anger. She also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, addiction, career stress, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and related challenges.
Aleta focuses on clear, practical steps in session. She listens to what matters most and helps people name emotions, notice patterns, and try new ways of responding. Sessions typically include focused conversation and skill-building rather than long academic explanations.
Her work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to build coping skills, improve communication, and manage intense feelings. Treatment goals are set together and adjusted as needs change.
People come for help after loss, big life changes, or when frustration keeps coming up at work or at home. Aleta also addresses attachment, abandonment, blended family issues, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and codependency concerns. She helps people sort through what is getting in the way of better day-to-day functioning.
Practical work in sessions can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, learning distress-tolerance skills, practicing emotional regulation, and trying new interaction styles. The aim is to leave a session with at least one concrete thing to try between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Aleta uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in clear, practical ways. Client-centered work means conversations focus on each person's concerns and goals. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying alternative ways of thinking to change feelings and actions.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for skill practice. DBT emphasizes coping tools for intense emotions, including distress tolerance and emotion regulation. These approaches are often used to manage anger, relationship conflict, anxiety, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Aleta will help clients choose which methods to try based on goals, current struggles, and personal preferences. She adjusts the work as progress is made and as challenges shift over time.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions that remove commute time. They also allow practice of skills in real-world routines, which helps turn tools learned in session into daily habits.
