About Deandriea
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 10 years of experience, Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career issues, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, and ADHD. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Sessions emphasize practical skills and active collaboration between the counselor and the person seeking help.
Dr. Bass-Carrigan frames thoughts, feelings, and emotions as states that can rise and fall. She helps people recognize patterns that drain their energy and identifies small, repeatable actions to rebuild resources. Work often begins with clear, concrete goals and moves toward manageable changes that fit daily life.
Her approach keeps the person in an active role. She listens for what matters most and uses techniques from CBT to challenge unhelpful thinking and from DBT to strengthen emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing is used to help clarify readiness for change and to increase commitment to chosen steps.
Sessions also cover practical life areas such as career decisions, parenting strain, and coping after loss or trauma. Dr. Bass-Carrigan draws on her counseling experience to offer coaching-style guidance when clients want direct strategies for work or life tasks.
People can expect clear talk about goals, regular skill practice, and adjustments based on how methods are working. The focus is on steady, usable progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities. The therapist listens and reflects to help the person identify goals and make decisions. This approach fits concerns like self-esteem, relationship challenges, and career questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses structured exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help with intense emotions, relationship strain, and coping after trauma.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the person to pick methods that match goals and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is tracked. That means sessions can shift between problem-solving, skills practice, and coaching-style guidance depending on need.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can help fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it easier to schedule regular appointments around work and family commitments.
