About Deanna
Deanna Laur is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) in Maryland with 14 years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Deanna speaks English and works from a straightforward, practical perspective aimed at everyday problems.
Her approach centers on talking through immediate concerns and finding concrete ways forward. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to identify small, actionable steps that can change how people handle frustration and resentment.
Deanna pays close attention to communication and control issues that often underlie anger. She helps people notice patterns and practice different responses in familiar situations. She also supports those dealing with workplace stress, mood difficulties, and the slow erosion of self-love and confidence.
Clients can expect conversations that focus on practical changes rather than abstract theory. Deanna adapts discussions and plans to the specific problems a person brings. The goal is clearer thinking, better choices in heated moments, and more repair after conflicts.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Her work uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location.
How her client-centered and solution-focused work translates online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead. Online sessions using this approach focus on what the client says matters most, with the therapist reflecting concerns and priorities back to help clarify feelings and choices. This is useful for people who want a respectful space to sort through anger and its triggers.Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions. It looks for what already works and builds on it, which can help with quick changes to how someone reacts in tense moments at work or at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deanna will collaborate with each client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a day. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent meetings and practice new responses more reliably.
