Deana Hartshorn , LPC

Deana Hartshorn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping women navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life changes. She writes directly and plainly, so people can understand what to expect from the first message. Her approach aims to make everyday problems feel more manageable and to help people regain a sense of direction and confidence.

With 11 years of experience, Deana uses practical talk therapy techniques rooted in Cognitive Behavioral ideas and client-centered principles. She helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, try new behaviors, and build skills that reduce worry and lift mood. Sessions emphasize clear, doable steps rather than abstract theories.

She also draws on narrative and solution-focused methods to help people rewrite their life stories and identify concrete goals. That can be useful for issues like abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness. The work often starts with small changes that lead to clearer thinking and steadier moods.

Deana practices in Texas and holds LPC credentials in Texas and Colorado. She aims for respectful, compassionate conversations and customizes each plan to the person who is in front of her. Many people appreciate guidance that is straightforward and practical.

Online approaches that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring the conversation to each person's needs. It helps when someone needs support, understanding, and a space to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits. It can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, and then recommend methods to try. That collaboration helps pick techniques that feel useful and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to have shorter exchanges or to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options let people keep therapy consistent during life changes and make it easier to try new strategies between sessions.
