About Deena
Deena Robertson is an LPC licensed in Virginia with five years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. Her work focuses on practical skills for daily life rather than long theoretical discussion. She uses clear, goal-oriented steps in sessions.
In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to address values, relationships, and long-standing patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered listening are part of the mix when emotion regulation and validation are needed.
Deena aims for straightforward language and concrete exercises. Typical steps include noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying short behavioral experiments, and practicing new ways to communicate. She checks progress and adjusts plans when an approach is not working.
She has experience with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, and communication breakdowns. Deena also works with people facing caregiver stress, body image concerns, midlife questions, and panic attacks. Her practice addresses both mood and relationship-related problems.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT helps people map thoughts, feelings, and actions to see what keeps a problem going. In practice this means identifying a troubling thought, testing it with a short experiment, and using that feedback to change responses. It is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and unhelpful avoidance.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values. It includes learning to notice uncomfortable feelings without getting stuck in them, which can help with stress, depression, and life-direction questions.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. This work can help with abandonment concerns, trust issues, and ongoing relationship conflicts by making patterns easier to recognize and change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit the client’s goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan if something is not helpful. This collaboration helps focus sessions on what matters most to the client.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It also allows for brief check-ins or regular weekly sessions depending on what a person needs and what formats are available.
