About Deanna
Deanna Rasnic is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 28 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family challenges, and questions about life direction. Deanna also works with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating and body image struggles, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and career questions.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That approach shows up in practical steps during sessions. Deanna talks through past hurts and how those hurts affect current behavior. She focuses on small, clear changes a person can try between meetings.
Her background includes work across agency settings and more than a decade in private practice. She has experience with adoption and foster care, including counseling birth parents, adoptive couples, and adopted children before and after placement. Her education includes two master’s degrees and a bachelor’s in psychology, and she holds supervisory credentials issued in Texas.
In sessions she is direct and honest while keeping discussions focused on what matters now. Meetings often include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, practical coping strategies, and steps for repairing communication. Clients can expect conversations that emphasize clarity, options, and next steps rather than abstract theory.
People turn to her when a life change has left them unsure what comes next. She helps clarify immediate priorities and practical strategies for moving forward one step at a time.
How CBT translates to online sessions
Deanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a way that focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing those thoughts in real situations, and practicing new responses. This approach suits worries like anxiety, depression, and decision-making about work or relationships.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide if CBT fits their goals and will adjust methods based on needs and preferences. That means checking in about what is working and changing course when needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online meetings can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, making it easier to schedule brief check-ins, or letting someone join from a place with quieter surroundings. These practical benefits often make regular sessions easier to maintain while you try the tools and steps discussed in therapy.
