About Deandriea
Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with ten years of counseling experience based in Arkansas. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and concerns such as parenting, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She also works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, self-esteem problems, and ADHD. Sessions are described as collaborative, with the client playing an active role in planning goals and strategies.
In practical terms she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses methods that encourage small, doable changes rather than abstract promises. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now, what patterns repeat, and what steps feel manageable to try next. The work includes skills practice and checking what works in everyday life.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas, and Motivational Interviewing. That mix is used to address mood, stress regulation, motivation, and coping during life changes. She frames these as tools to change thinking and behavior patterns that make problems feel worse.
Dr. Bass-Carrigan notes the importance of rebuilding capacity when people feel depleted. Treatment planning aims to refill practical resources so clients can keep meeting responsibilities. She invites clients to take an active part in defining goals and tracking progress.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment is handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Bass-Carrigan commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and coping. Client-Centered methods prioritize the client's perspective and use reflective listening to clarify goals. DBT supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and managing intense feelings.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then choose which methods to emphasize. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, school, and family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or conversations without video when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. The aim is practical: make sessions something that fits into everyday life so the work can continue between appointments.
