About Deena
Deena Robertson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and struggles with motivation and confidence. She also lists life purpose and midlife concerns among her areas of focus.
In sessions she talks through what feels most urgent and helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations tend to focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. She draws on evidence-informed methods to help people manage intense emotions and improve communication.
Deena uses a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and a client-centered stance. That combination supports addressing panic, mood shifts, and problems with trust or abandonment. Work can include skill practice, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and reflecting on relationship patterns.
She aims to keep therapy straightforward and focused. Sessions often balance talking about difficult events with concrete tools to handle day-to-day stress. Progress is discussed in measurable ways so people can see what changes over time.
People who reach out are usually looking for clearer direction after a change or for better ways to manage anxiety and relationships. Deena helps people sort out what matters next and take small steps toward more stable routines and clearer choices.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build small habits that reflect those values. It is useful for anxiety, feeling stuck, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for panic, mood shifts, and breaking cycles of anxious thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection styles affect trust and communication; it can be helpful for abandonment, intimacy, and relationship struggles.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods that match the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing approaches across sessions and adjusting as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use therapy from different rooms in their routine, which can help maintain consistency while practicing skills between sessions.
