About Deanna
Deanna Mullins is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. She offers practical support for life changes, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and issues related to caregiving or chronic illness. Her work also covers concerns like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and adjustments tied to aging or serious illness.
She keeps sessions simple and direct. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what steps feel doable.
Background and approach
She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can say what’s on their mind without feeling criticized. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take small actions, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to build steadiness.
She also uses EMDR for processing traumatic memories when that fits a person’s goals. Clients who choose her can expect a collaborative process. She listens first, helps set clear goals, and adjusts strategies based on how things are going.
Sessions may include practical skills, short exercises, and problem-focused conversations to make day-to-day life easier. Deanna has two decades of professional experience and holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. She practices in Idaho and provides online sessions by video, phone, chat, or text.
Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Approaches used in online therapy and what they do
Deanna commonly blends cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR to address both current patterns and painful memories. CBT is a hands-on method that helps people notice thinking and behavior patterns, then try small changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines. EMDR focuses on processing traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming and can stop triggering strong reactions.She also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people name what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to the person's goals, try methods that fit those needs, and adapt strategies over time if something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face without traveling. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or when messaging fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical routines.
