Deanna Perrone , LCSW

Deanna Perrone is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She works with adults tackling parenting stress, intimacy concerns, career questions, and mood disorders like bipolar and ADHD-related struggles. Her approach is practical and steady, aimed at helping clients feel more grounded and able to move forward.

Deanna offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about how past experiences shape present choices. She pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships and helps people recognize options they may have missed. Conversations focus on clear goals and small, doable steps toward change.

Her work blends insight into attachment and relational dynamics with tools for thinking and coping differently. She uses methods that address thoughts and behaviors, explore underlying emotional drivers, and support values-based living. Sessions may include skill practice, reflection on relationships, and planning for real-world changes.

With 14 years of clinical experience in Texas, Deanna draws on broad exposure to issues like grief, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiving stress, divorce, domestic violence, and codependency. She treats both short-term problems and longer-term patterns with the same focus on practical progress.

Many people come to her when they feel stuck, overwhelmed by stress, or unsure how to repair important relationships. She works at a pace the client sets and prioritizes building a respectful, collaborative relationship that supports steady growth.

Approaches that guide online sessions and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values, even when strong emotions are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decision-making during life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people interrupt repeating cycles in intimacy and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That can mean combining insight-focused work with hands-on skills training to match what feels most useful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and body language cues. Phone sessions often work better when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text allow for ongoing check-ins or brief skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to attend therapy around work, parenting, medical care, or other responsibilities.
