About Deana
Deana Harris offers a clear, practical counseling style grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. Deana speaks plainly and listens closely to help people find forward motion during stressful times.
She focuses on relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, career planning, and navigating life changes. Stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue are also areas she addresses. Her background includes work in school and community settings where she supported academic and career transitions.
How Deana works
Deana earned a Master’s Degree from the University of Detroit Mercy with specializations in school and community counseling. She combines several approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone. Collaboration guides how she builds a plan with clients.
In sessions she uses straightforward techniques to set goals, practice new skills, and track progress. She aims to be honest and fair while offering practical steps people can try between visits. Her tone is supportive and focused on real-world change.
People choose her when they want an experienced counselor who helps sort priorities and build coping skills. She works from Michigan and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients follow a simple online matching and scheduling process to find a time that fits their life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Deana uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive behavioral approaches break problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach skills to shift them. This method helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear tools to practice between sessions.Narrative approaches help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That can reduce shame and build a stronger sense of identity when facing life transitions or family challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. This is a joint process that adapts over time as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use virtual sessions to teach coping skills, review progress, and plan practical steps that fit real life.
