About Dea
Dea Robinson is an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with 14 years of experience. She began in the US Navy as a Corpsman and psychiatric technician, then completed a degree in clinical counseling. She now works with adults on concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Her background includes crisis and emergency work, inpatient settings for adults and teens, day treatment for adolescents, school-based therapy, and outpatient primary care for children, teens, and adults. That range gives her practical knowledge of medication effects and neurodiversity, including autism and ADHD.
In sessions she uses several approaches to match the issue at hand. Those methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing. She also offers somatic techniques, bilateral exercises, and creative art activities when helpful.
Dea pays attention to how mood, food, and movement interact, and she will talk through practical skills for sleeping, eating, and managing impulsivity or control issues. She often works on communication problems, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and building healthier coping after trauma.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys live music, painting, card games, car shows, travel, and cooking. She invites people to bring songs or personal interests into sessions when that helps connect to what matters to them.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. In practice with Dea those skills are used for managing anger, stress, and life changes by clarifying what matters and taking small consistent steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. With CBT she helps people identify triggers, test unhelpful thinking, and try new coping strategies for anxiety, anger, or mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so the plan fits the person and the situation.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists use worksheets, guided exercises, and somatic or bilateral techniques while the client is at home or on a break from work. Licensed professionals generally adapt tools like EMDR, ACT, and CBT for remote sessions when appropriate, and Dea will discuss practical arrangements and pacing during the initial match and first appointments.
