About Deidre
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of experience, Deidre Means works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and addiction concerns. She supports issues related to grief, intimacy, eating and parenting challenges, and career or life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and grounded in practical therapy methods.
Deidre uses a client-centered style that focuses on each person’s goals and preferences. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques to help people identify patterns and try small, manageable changes. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are contributing to current distress.
Her background includes school-based counseling and clinical mental health settings. That experience informs how she works with parenting strain, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and teen concerns. She draws on practical skills useful at home, school, or work.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and step-by-step strategies. People can expect conversations that name problems, test small changes, and track progress. Deidre pays attention to communication problems, impulsivity, body image, and co-occurring issues like substance use when they affect daily life.
She also addresses more specific areas such as abandonment, dissociation, fertility-related stress, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. For first steps she asks people to identify priorities so sessions focus on the issues that matter most.

How her approaches are used in online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. It involves listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around what the client says matters most. This approach helps with motivation and deciding which problems to tackle first.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses clear, practical exercises to test new thinking and change behaviors that maintain anxiety, depression, or eating concerns. Solution-focused work narrows sessions to small, achievable steps and immediate goals to create momentum.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets people use video or audio choices that suit their bandwidth and comfort, and makes scheduling around school or work obligations simpler.
