About Deena
Deena Robertson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Virginia. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at making the first steps feel less intimidating. Deena uses a mix of practical talk therapy and structured tools.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps toward them.
Attachment-based ideas guide her work on relationship patterns and abandonment concerns. Client-centered principles shape sessions so people feel heard and understood.
Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. She has five years of professional experience as an LPC licensed in Virginia.
Deena focuses on concrete skills you can use between sessions, such as communication practices, grounding strategies for panic, and steps to address guilt or perfectionism. She also works on broader goals like finding purpose or navigating life transitions.
Sessions are presented in a collaborative tone. Deena aims to help people build clearer self-awareness and steady routines that reduce overwhelm.
She encourages small, achievable changes and checks in on progress as therapy moves forward.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Deena often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and finding direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, which can be useful for communication problems, abandonment concerns, and intimacy struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
