About DeAnna Christian
Her experience extends beyond clinical work - she has been a foster parent, adopted children, has family members with mental health needs, and serves as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). Those lived and volunteer roles inform her perspective and contribute to a depth of understanding when working with families, caregivers, and people navigating complex personal histories.
Her counseling style is warm and genuine, characterized by respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She treats people as individuals rather than labels or diagnoses and adapts treatment to meet each person where they are. Clinically she draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to create practical, tailored plans that address both immediate concerns and longer-term goals.
As an LISW - a Licensed Independent Social Worker who holds a supervisor designation - she combines professional training and practical experience to guide clients through change. Reaching out for help and building trust can be challenging, and she aims to provide steady support and guidance throughout the process.
