About Raymond
Raymond Dean is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 14 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, grief, and anger. He also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, money worries, and mood challenges.
He describes a practical, faith-informed approach that draws on several evidence-based methods. Raymond uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different responses. He also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ways of listening to guide sessions.
He references his background in the military when relevant and says that experience influences his understanding of life transitions and the stresses of service. Raymond notes that some people come for help with panic and social anxiety, while others bring long-running grief or problems that affect relationships.
Sessions focus on clear skills and short-term strategies alongside deeper work about values and meaning. Raymond aims to help people develop better communication habits, manage intense emotions like anger, and reduce behaviors that feel out of control. He supports people who want both practical tools and space to reflect.
He works in English and accepts international clients. To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options.
How cognitive and acceptance approaches work online
Raymond combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit structured online work. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors; it helps with anxiety, mood problems, and managing reactions. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while building a meaningful life.He also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person's concerns and preferences. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist and client decide together based on goals, how someone responds in early sessions, and practical needs for skills or reflection.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel for appointments. Raymond notes that these practical benefits help people keep consistent practice and apply CBT or ACT exercises between sessions.
