About Neva

Neva Deschner is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy. She uses clear tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at small steps that add up to real change.

She brings ten years of professional experience to sessions and centers the person’s own strengths. Neva believes clients know their stories best, and she helps them use that knowledge to meet goals.

Background and approach

She works with people facing relationship strain, grief and loss, burnout, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Neva often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and coping strategies.

These approaches are used in simple, practical ways during conversations and short exercises. Her additional focus includes support around addiction, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, domestic violence, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and self-love. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable pieces and build reliable coping habits.

People come away with clearer plans and everyday tools they can use between meetings. Neva supports each person in choosing steps that fit their life and pace.

Online support

How CBT and DBT translate to online therapy

Neva commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are practical and can be practiced in daily life to manage intense emotions and improve coping after trauma or loss.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Neva will talk with each person about their goals and try techniques to see what fits best. Over time she adjusts methods based on what helps most, combining CBT and DBT skills when that suits the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into daily life and keep working on skills between meetings.
