About Deia
Deia Lawrence is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, and issues related to sexual identity and LGBT concerns.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered ideas to prioritize the person's perspective and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in relationships.
Deia has a history of working with survivors of sexual and physical trauma and with people from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. She notes experience supporting clients who face marginalization and social identity struggles. She also helps with career concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
As a parent of a child with special needs, she brings lived experience around caregiving stress and practical family challenges. She has served on the board of a nonprofit that assists families of children with special needs, particularly Latino families with limited resources. That background informs how she talks about parenting and caregiver strain.
Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. Deia uses motivational interviewing to clarify goals and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. People can expect short, actionable experiments and attention to how emotions and relationships influence daily life.
How Deia uses CBT, client-centered work, and EFT online
Deia frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on practical experiments and short exercises people can try between sessions to see what helps.She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening and reflecting the person's perspective. That approach helps clarify goals and priorities and supports more collaborative decision making. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns are the main concern; it focuses on how emotions and interaction cycles shape closeness and conflict.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Deia will discuss options and choose approaches together based on the client's goals, communication style, and day-to-day needs. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented, with clear steps to try between meetings.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel. It also lets people try therapy without needing to rearrange long commutes, while still focusing on practical CBT exercises, goal setting, and emotion-focused conversations.
