About Deena
Her approach is practical and focused on everyday change. Deena works with clients to build self-esteem and improve communication. She helps people develop coping strategies for panic attacks, seasonal low mood, and caregiving stress.

Deena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions. That means sessions are built around methods shown to help with symptoms and relationships. The work is collaborative: clients and therapist set goals and try specific skills between meetings.
She brings three years of clinical experience to her practice and holds the LCSW-C credential in Maryland. The tone in sessions is direct but warm, aiming to make lasting changes feel possible one step at a time.
How evidence-based work fits into online therapy
Deena draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. These approaches focus on practical skills that people can use between meetings. For example, techniques that target anxiety teach breathing and grounding exercises plus ways to change patterns that fuel panic attacks. Methods that address relationships concentrate on improving communication and setting clearer boundaries to reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust what they do together based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.
