About Deanna
Deanna Dillard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She focuses on anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns. She also addresses grief, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, and career stress.
Deanna uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening. She offers a nonjudgmental space for talking through strong emotions and recurring patterns. Sessions often begin with practical steps to manage immediate distress and then move to deeper work on longstanding patterns.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's goals and perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. Gottman Method ideas guide her work when relationship interactions are a focus.
Deanna helps people who are navigating gender dysphoria, multicultural concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, veteran and armed forces issues, and other intersectional challenges. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, hoarding, infidelity, intellectual disability, jealousy, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. The therapist helps people create small, testable changes that can reduce anger and improve communication. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's matching flow to schedule a first appointment and see what fits their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client's priorities and adjust pacing to match how someone is coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses exercises to test new ways of thinking. CBT works well for anger, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns because it uses concrete skills a person can practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with the person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily reality. That means trying a few techniques and tracking what helps, then shifting focus as needed.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people maintain regular sessions while they work on anger, relationships, and coping skills.
