About Deidre
Deidre Campen is a licensed professional clinical counselor in Minnesota who helps people facing grief, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and parenting stress. She brings a calm, respectful manner to sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage daily life and emotions. Deidre emphasizes compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels when people seek help for difficult moments.
With ten years as an LPCC, she blends several approaches to meet individual needs. Sessions are interactive and aimed at problem solving and personal insight.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered principles to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Deidre also uses mindfulness practices to build awareness and reduce overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques help set short-term goals and keep momentum between sessions.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level. Her background includes many years supporting people through bereavement and loss. That experience informs how she listens for meaning, coping strengths, and small steps toward healing.
She also has personal experience managing ADHD in daily life and parenting, which informs practical tips and empathy in session. Clients can expect a straightforward, warm dialogue that focuses on what’s manageable now. Deidre aims to help people build skills, try new strategies, and strengthen their ability to cope with life’s changes.
Therapeutic tools and online care
Deidre commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thought and behavior patterns and practice calmer responses. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related routines. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus during stressful moments.She approaches treatment as a collaboration. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together. The therapist and client set goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what fits the person’s needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and move forward without long commutes.
