About DeAnna
DeAnna Graham is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as relationship problems, low self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, addiction, and issues common in young adulthood. Sessions address practical problems like coping with life changes, parenting strain, and grief.
Graham uses approaches that center the client, along with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. She focuses on concrete skills - problem solving, anger management, and building motivation - alongside helping people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way.
Her background includes case management and supportive counseling across many settings. That work involved helping people facing economic, developmental, and social barriers, and supporting those affected by homelessness, trauma, or family disruption.
In practice she prioritizes clear communication and organization. Sessions often include straightforward goal-setting, skill practice, and checking progress. She aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking issues into manageable steps.
Clients can expect a direct, client-centered style that combines talk with practical exercises. Graham also draws on mindfulness to help with stress and anxiety. If you are navigating early-adulthood pressures - such as leaving home, first jobs, or relationship changes - she lists young adult issues among her focus areas.
How client-centered, cognitive, and mindfulness approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist reflects concerns, clarifies priorities, and supports the client's own problem solving. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful, collaborative space to sort out decisions and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties where skill practice and clear steps help.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple mental exercises. It helps reduce reactivity, improve focus, and manage stress through brief practices you can use between sessions.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide what fits best, based on goals and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked and needs change.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a young adult schedule and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to book during school breaks, lunch hours, or between shifts. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered and what will fit your routine.
