About Deanna
Deanna Butera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She works with people who are facing panic or social anxiety, and those dealing with body image or control issues.
She begins by listening to what feels most urgent. Sessions are practical and straightforward. She helps people name the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and then tries small, doable changes. Conversations aim to make daily life feel more manageable rather than relying on abstract ideas.
Deanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, and she adapts pacing to each person's needs. She talks through coping skills for panic attacks, ways to reduce generalized anxiety, and strategies for repairing or understanding relationship patterns. For trauma and abuse, she focuses on stabilization and building safety in the present.
She also addresses related areas like body image, forgiveness, and self-love. Work on attention differences and ADHD centers on organizing routines and realistic goal-setting. Mood concerns are approached with steady check-ins and practical behavioral steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and Deanna does not take international clients. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options flow.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Deanna works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and changes. One approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and panic - breathing strategies, grounding, and brief behavioral experiments to reduce intensity and build confidence. This helps with panic attacks and social anxiety by teaching steps to manage symptoms in the moment.Another approach organizes thinking and behavior into manageable routines. It targets mood and attention-related concerns by breaking tasks into small steps, setting realistic goals, and using straightforward planning tools. This is practical for people managing ADHD, low motivation, or fluctuating mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and daily life, then test methods and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps clarify which techniques actually help and which need changing.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make therapy fit into busy schedules by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples into the session for hands-on problem solving.
