About Deana
Deana Haynes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina and Florida with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger, among other concerns. Deana focuses on practical skills people can use day to day to manage strong feelings and improve relationships.
She uses an integrative approach that draws on several evidence-based methods. Sessions often include concrete strategies to regulate emotions, cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thinking, and practices that support present-moment awareness. EMDR is part of her toolkit for people processing traumatic memories.
Deana pays attention to the whole person and to how life circumstances shape behavior. She helps clients spot patterns that keep them stuck and then tries out small, manageable changes. The work is collaborative - clients set goals and Deana suggests steps to reach them.
Her background includes supporting people through parenting stress, career strain, grief, and the impacts of long-term or complex trauma. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, compassion fatigue, attachment issues, and body image in session. Practical problem-solving and emotional regulation are common focuses.
Sessions are offered in English and Deana accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches work online
Deana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. ACT focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward the life they want, and it can be useful for anger tied to frustration or life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thinking patterns that fuel reactivity. CBT includes practical exercises and homework to test new ways of responding, which can reduce repeated outbursts or chronic resentment.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Deana will talk with each person about their goals, the problems they want to solve, and what methods feel comfortable. Together they choose steps that fit the person’s needs and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed path.
The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time. It can also let people practice skills between meetings in the settings where their anger shows up. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so they make sense in a remote meeting and help clients build routines that fit everyday life.
