About Deana
Deana Hartshorn is an LPC licensed in Colorado and Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, depression, and life changes.
Deana uses straightforward methods to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas, including the ABC model from Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, to spot self-defeating thought patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Her work also incorporates client-centered principles, which means conversations follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused ideas appear when it helps clients reframe problems and identify next steps. The emphasis is on clear, manageable strategies rather than abstract theory.
Deana aims to address specific concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness. She supports people working through life purpose, midlife transition, self-love, and women’s issues in addition to core mood and anxiety problems.
The approach is practical and direct: identify patterns, try concrete alternatives, and check what works. She encourages small experiments and regular review so progress is visible. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Deana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to see what helps reduce worry or low mood. Client-centered methods prioritize the client’s concerns and use reflective conversation to clarify goals and options.She also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas when useful. Narrative approaches help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative narratives. Solution-focused work narrows attention to practical next steps and what can be done now to move forward. Deciding which mix of methods to use is collaborative; she will help identify the best fit based on a client’s goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and clients often find it practical for reviewing between-session experiments and following up on specific goals.
