About Dea
Dea Robinson is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 14 years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and other concerns listed in her profile. Dea talks directly with people about what they want to change and practical steps to get there.
Before becoming a counselor Dea served as a Corpsman and Psychiatric Technician in the US Navy from 1997 to 2003, including two deployments. After leaving the Navy she completed a degree in clinical counseling and built experience across crisis and ER settings, inpatient care, day treatment for teens, school-based therapy, addictions work, and outpatient care for children, teens, and adults.
Her approach blends several methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on values and committed action. She also draws on EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, client-centered techniques, somatic and creative exercises when they fit the work.
Dea has familiarity with autism, ADHD, and psychotropic medication from her clinical roles. She often includes practical skills - sleep and eating strategies, grounding or bilateral exercises, and activity-based work - alongside talk therapy. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented with exercises to try between meetings.
She enjoys music and art and sometimes uses creative prompts in therapy when it helps people connect to feelings or memories. Sessions are conducted in English. For international arrangements, the profile indicates she does not accept international clients.
How CBT, ACT and EMDR can work in online sessions
Dea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT often includes short exercises and homework to practice between sessions and is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and stress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which emphasizes clarifying values and taking small actions aligned with those values. ACT can be useful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and get moving toward goals despite difficult feelings.
EMDR is employed as a method to work with distressing memories and trauma symptoms through guided bilateral stimulation and processing. It can be used when memory-related material is part of the presenting concern.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan as progress or barriers appear. Clients play a role in choosing exercises and deciding what to try between sessions.
The profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use video or non-video options depending on comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, ACT exercises, and EMDR-style processing to remote sessions when appropriate and agreed on by both parties.
