About DeAnna
DeAnna Graham is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults on a range of concerns including relationship problems, anger, anxiety, stress, addictions, parenting, and career issues. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away to reduce tension and improve daily functioning.
Graham uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She brings cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns that keep anger and anxiety active. Mindfulness practices are also part of her approach, teaching brief exercises to calm the body and refocus attention during heated moments.
Her background includes counseling people facing barriers such as homelessness, trauma, and family conflict. She has provided case management and supportive therapy for those dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, HIV/AIDS, and caregiver stress. That experience informs a practical style that looks for what can be changed now and what supports are needed next.
Graham emphasizes clear communication and problem solving. She helps people build skills for better boundaries, managing resentment, and repairing strained connections. Work with her often includes breaking big problems into small, doable steps and tracking progress between sessions.
People who struggle with anger, impulsive reactions, or ongoing workplace and relationship tension will find an approach oriented to real-life adjustments. She offers straightforward feedback and hands-on strategies to help reduce reactivity and increase control over behavior.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions can simply continue that habit of careful listening, helping someone name feelings and priorities even when they are away from the office. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises to change patterns. CBT techniques transfer well to remote sessions through guided practice and homework. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm; these can be practiced during or between online meetings.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting as things change.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow practice of skills in real-life settings between meetings. Therapists and licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach coping techniques, review homework, and track progress without requiring a commute.
