She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and life changes.

She works in English and practices in California. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT, ACT, and client-centered work translate to online sessions
Deitra often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered techniques to address specific problems. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior experiments to see what changes. ACT emphasizes values-based actions and learning to accept thoughts while choosing meaningful steps. Client-centered methods prioritize listening and reflecting so goals and priorities come from the person themselves.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that fit the issue, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process focused on practical steps and skills rather than fixed promises.
The therapist's session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. It also allows exercises like thought records, mindfulness practice, and behavioral experiments to be tried between sessions and reviewed together.
