Deana Hartshorn

Deana Hartshorn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship trouble, depression, and major life changes. Her profile notes a focus on life purpose and midlife issues among other concerns.

She uses conversational, practical methods in sessions. Deana draws on Client-Centered approaches to listen and reflect what matters to the client. She also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Her background includes work in both Colorado and Texas, and she brings experience helping people handle communication problems, separation and divorce, feelings of abandonment, guilt and shame, and loneliness. Deana mentions using the ABC model from Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy to map how beliefs affect emotions and actions.

In sessions she typically helps people notice thinking patterns, test new behaviors, and try small changes that fit daily life. She will adapt conversations and a plan based on what a client needs and what works in practice. That might mean short-term problem solving or a longer conversation about identity and purpose.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Cost varies by location and is delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients follow the site steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Deana combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that suit remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the client, which helps clarify values, priorities, and sources of stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes, useful for anxiety, depression, and decision points.

Choosing the best approach is part of the early work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether to focus on thought skills, telling and reframing life stories, or short-term solutions. That choice is based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what they want to work on first.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try out therapy alongside everyday responsibilities while the therapist and client test what works best.
