About Dea
Dea Robinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience in mental health care. She began her career as a Corpsman and psychiatric technician in the US Navy, then completed a degree in clinical counseling. Her background includes work in crisis and ER settings, addiction treatment, inpatient care, school-based therapy, and outpatient services.
Dea uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and EMDR when appropriate.
Background and approach
She also brings in somatic techniques, bilateral exercises, and creative art activities when those tools fit a person's needs. People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, anger, and life transitions.
She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, attachment concerns, isolation, guilt and shame, and career or purpose questions. Dea has familiarity with Autism and Asperger syndrome and with psychotropic medications. Sessions are offered from Indiana and are conducted in English.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients are not supported. Dea aims for clear goals and simple next steps in each meeting.
She welcomes people who want practical tools, a chance to talk through painful experiences, or a creative way to work through stuck patterns.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dea commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and EMDR in her work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward values-based goals. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method that can help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Dea will start by listening to your concerns and goals, then suggest methods that match those aims. She checks in as therapy progresses and adapts techniques so the work stays relevant to what you want to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls support deeper conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to check in between longer sessions or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep a regular schedule and try different formats as needs change.
