Andrea Deases, LPC

Andrea Deases, LPC, brings a collaborative, person-centered style to therapy. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through stress and anxiety, and take practical steps toward feeling better. She speaks plainly and focuses on what each person wants to change.

Andrea earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler and has worked as a counselor in Texas since 2016. Over five years she has worked in crisis centers and community counseling settings. That experience includes supporting people facing depression, bipolar symptoms, and severe episodes that come with major life stress.

She has worked with children, teens, and adults in community centers to improve communication, set clearer boundaries, and build more stable home routines. She also supports adults coping with transitions, loss, low self-esteem, and career or workplace challenges. Andrea welcomes people who want to focus on personal growth even without a single named concern.

Her approach centers on listening carefully and collaborating to set realistic goals. Andrea draws on client-centered methods plus cognitive behavioral, narrative, solution-focused, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy techniques. Sessions aim to identify what can change and then build small, practical steps toward those changes.

Andrea works in Texas and practices in English. She uses a straightforward, supportive style that emphasizes clear goals and steady progress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Andrea's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building a working relationship that reflects each person's goals. It helps people who need a steady, understanding presence while they sort through stress, anxiety, or life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or low mood over time.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day functioning. It can help with emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and coping during crises.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs and try different strategies together to see what fits your goals and preferences. That means treatment plans can change based on what helps most in real life.
