About De-Ann

De-Ann Lott is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and issues around self-esteem. Her approach aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate toward each person she sees.

She spends time getting to know what matters most to each client. That informs how she shapes conversations and the plan for sessions. She emphasizes practical steps people can use between meetings to feel steadier and more capable.

Background and approach

De-Ann also supports people coping with life changes and with concerns about body image, including those preparing for or recovering from bariatric surgery. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through fears and hopes related to these transitions. Her work includes helping people process trauma and abuse, and addressing feelings tied to abandonment, guilt, or shame.

She pays attention to how those experiences affect mood, relationships, and daily routines, and helps clients build skills for managing symptoms like anxiety or low self-worth. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. De-Ann invites steady, honest conversation and follows the client’s pace when planning next steps.

She encourages people to notice small changes and to try practical coping tools between sessions. Starting therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. De-Ann aims to make the process clear and manageable, guiding people toward more stable routines and greater self-compassion.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

De-Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns. One approach focuses on managing stress and anxiety through practical coping skills such as breath work, behavioral changes, and structured problem solving to reduce overwhelming moments. Another approach centers on processing trauma and related emotions by helping clients name and make sense of painful memories and reactions, then practice safety and stabilization skills to manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your history, goals, and preferences and then suggest options. Together you will try methods and adjust over time so the plan fits your needs and feels useful.

Online therapy with De-Ann is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins during the day, and messaging is useful for brief reflections or when daily tracking is helpful. These options make it easier to fit appointments around work, medical care, or family responsibilities.
