AAbout
About Deanna
Deanna Mullins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Idaho and Oregon with 20 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also works with issues like addictions, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and caregiving stress.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on current problems and steps to manage them. She listens for what is most pressing and helps people try methods that can reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Deanna uses evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to address different problems. She explains techniques simply and practices them in-session so clients can use them between meetings. The emphasis is on skills people can use in work, family, and community life.
Clients can expect a collaborative process. Deanna helps set goals, track progress, and adjust strategies when something is not working. She pays attention to practical barriers like energy, time, and caregiving responsibilities and tailors sessions to those limits.
She works with adults across a wide range of concerns including aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, end-of-life and hospice counseling, first responder and veteran issues, and challenges around life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the standards of practice for an LCSW licensed in Idaho and Oregon.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps toward actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories through guided processing and can be adapted to a paced, supportive format online.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tries methods that match those goals and preferences. If something is not helping, adjustments are made together so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, skip travel time, and do brief check-ins during a lunch break. It also allows practicing skills in the settings where challenges occur. Ask about format details when you sign up so sessions match your everyday schedule and needs.
