Aleta (Deonne) O'Quinn, LPC

Aleta (Deonne) O'Quinn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through major life changes and heavy emotions. Her work often addresses depression, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem struggles.

She aims to create a steady, empathic presence where people can talk through hard things. Sessions focus on practical steps and emotional understanding. Aleta helps clients build coping skills and stronger ways to manage stress and overwhelming feelings.

Her approach is flexible and based on what each person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

Aleta also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help with emotional regulation and relationship concerns. Mindfulness practices are added to help people stay grounded and reduce reactivity. Together these tools are used to improve communication, reduce isolation, and support recovery from addiction-related challenges.

People who choose Aleta tend to want a calm, steady therapist who matches practical skill-building with emotional care. She works with individuals to make small, sustainable changes that add up over time. To begin, clients are invited to describe their situation so sessions can be shaped around clear goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Aleta uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person, helping them feel heard and respected. This approach supports people who need a steady, accepting presence while they sort through difficult feelings.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to practice alternatives. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel intense.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made so the work stays helpful.

If you'd like online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist when you complete the matching questionnaire to learn about available formats and what will work best for your routine.
