About Aleta
Aleta (Deonne) O'Quinn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem struggles, and helps people navigating life changes and relationship difficulties.
She focuses on straightforward, practical work. Sessions often look at coping skills, communication habits, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Aleta uses talk therapy alongside structured techniques to help clients manage emotions and make small, steady changes.
Many people seek her help for trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and workplace stress. She also supports those dealing with addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment questions, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.
Aleta’s work draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior skills, emotionally-focused ideas, and mindfulness practices. She combines active listening with skills teaching so people leave sessions with something they can try between meetings.
She offers services in English and practices under her Georgia LPC credential. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Aleta uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as key parts of her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can name what matters and make their own choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and gives concrete tools to change them.She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills help when feelings feel overwhelming or when someone struggles with intense reactions in relationships. These methods are useful for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship patterns, and coping with big life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then work together to decide which methods to use. That collaborative decision can change as needs evolve.
