Deanna Dillard , LPC

Deanna Dillard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns. She aims to make the first step toward change easier and less overwhelming for people who are worried about seeking help.

She creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they think and feel. Sessions are meant to be practical and conversational. Deanna listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps people set small, doable goals.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and anger. She also supports people working through career stress, self-esteem problems, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include gender dysphoria, hoarding, infidelity, intellectual disability, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, and non-monogamous relationship questions.

Deanna uses approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential ideas, and elements of the Gottman method to guide sessions. She will help people weigh options and choose strategies that fit their goals and everyday life.

People interested in starting with her complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood; it helps people clarify values and make choices that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and offers concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. Existential Therapy invites people to talk about meaning, choice, and responsibility when facing major life questions or changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which ideas to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies if something is not helping.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular check-ins. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the current options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. The therapist will help tailor session length and focus to match daily life and therapeutic goals.
