About Raina
Raina Deer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 10 years of experience in counseling and mental health work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career questions, depression, and coping with life changes. Raina also lists life purpose and a range of relationship-related issues among her focus areas.
Raina works with adults and college-age clients on practical problems that show up in daily life. She helps people name patterns that cause repeated conflict, manage anxiety and depression symptoms, and make decisions about work and relationships. Discussions are concrete and aimed at next steps rather than abstract theory.
Her practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Raina uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods to help clients test new ways of thinking and behaving. She also incorporates person-centered and trauma-informed ideas when they fit the client's needs.
Sessions may include identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing communication skills, setting boundaries, and planning small behavioral changes to reduce stress. For clients who wish it, faith-based principles can be woven into the conversations alongside psychological tools.
Raina's background includes work in counseling, higher education, and mental health settings. That mix informs a straightforward style that balances listening with practical tools. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
Sessions are conducted in English and available within Mississippi. International clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
