About Deidre
Deidre Means is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, self-esteem struggles, grief, and related concerns.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused sessions. Conversations tend to be practical and centered on what the client wants to change. Deidre draws on client-centered work to listen and follow what matters most to each person.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach when thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way. She will help identify patterns that maintain stress, anxiety, or anger and try small experiments to shift those patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy shows up in shorter-term planning and clear steps people can try between sessions. That can include skill-building for communication, managing impulses, or coping during setbacks.
Her background includes school-based and clinical mental health settings, and she currently serves in a school counseling role while providing counseling through telehealth. She asks people to start with practical goals and works collaboratively on the next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. Online sessions make it possible to keep that focus while working from whatever space fits the client's day. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and making sense of strong emotions including anger.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In web-based sessions CBT can include tracking mood patterns, trying behavioral experiments between sessions, and practicing new responses to stress or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and measurable goals that can be reviewed each session.
Finding the best approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods if something is not working. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving duties. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or sessions without video if bandwidth is limited. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep therapy consistent with daily life.
