Background and approach

She also blends somatic exercises, creative art activities, and conversations about food and mood to help people notice what changes feel useful. People come to her for many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy questions, sleep and eating concerns, anger, career shifts, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Her work draws on a broad clinical background that includes experience with autism and psychotropic medications. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Dea aims to match each person to a practical plan they can try between sessions.

She frames goals in everyday terms and tracks progress in ways that feel meaningful to the client. She enjoys music, painting, car shows, camping, trivia, and cooking German food. She invites people to share a song or story that matters to them as a way to start connection.

How these approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. Online ACT sessions often focus on small, doable steps and short experiments to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them; it works well for anxiety, depression, and common ADHD-related struggles with organization and routine. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy for processing traumatic memories and strong emotions and can be adapted for remote work through guided bilateral exercises and careful pacing.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past experiences and then recommend a mix of methods that fits. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what feels helpful.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and teaching skills, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat or text are handy for quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style exchanges. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, keep momentum between meetings, and choose the format that feels most manageable for them.
