Dea Robinson, LMHC

Dea Robinson is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, depression, ADHD, addictions, and other concerns. Her background includes work across crisis, inpatient, outpatient, and school settings.

Robinson began her clinical path serving in the U.S. Navy as a Corpsman and psychiatric technician. After military service she completed a degree in clinical counseling and has since worked in emergency rooms, addiction treatment, inpatient units for adults and teens, day treatment, school-based therapy, and outpatient primary care. That breadth gives her familiarity with medication, autism, and ADHD.

Her approach blends practical, evidence-based methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take steady action despite strong feelings.

She also draws on EMDR for trauma work, motivational interviewing for ambivalence, and client-centered methods that keep the person's goals central. She has an interest in somatic work, bilateral exercises, and creative art as ways to process feeling and behavior.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills people can try between meetings. That might include communication practice, anger management strategies, sleep and eating supports, or steps for coping with life changes. Robinson invites people to bring what matters to them - including stories, music, or creative work - into the conversation.
