Deanna Revels

Deanna Revels is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping adults struggling with isolation, mood concerns, and trauma-related issues. She uses straightforward talk and structured tools to help people untangle painful patterns and feel more connected. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at making therapy useful from the start.

Deanna completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kent State University in 2020, along with an Educational Specialist in Counseling. She brings six years of clinical experience working with adults who face anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive concerns, dissociation, and neurodevelopmental differences. She also helps people dealing with relationship ruptures, abandonment, and the fallout of separation or domestic violence.

Her approach blends narrative methods with trauma-focused and exposure-based techniques. Narrative work helps people reframe their life stories and separate themselves from painful labels. Trauma-focused methods address memories and reactions that continue to cause distress. Exposure and response strategies target the repetitive behaviors that feed anxiety and OCD.

Sessions emphasize clear goals, stepwise practice, and concrete skills people can use between appointments. Deanna encourages collaboration so clients know why each intervention is chosen and how it connects to their goals. She communicates in plain language and keeps homework manageable.

Deanna sees adults in Ohio and conducts therapy in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Deanna uses narrative therapy to help people tell a clearer story about themselves and their struggles. This approach focuses on changing how problems are described and breaking large issues into manageable parts, which can be worked on in session and practiced between meetings.

She also uses trauma-focused techniques to address painful memories and reactions that keep coming up. These methods are applied carefully, with pacing matched to what the person can handle, so trauma memories can be processed over time without becoming overwhelming.

Exposure and response strategies are another common tool for obsessive thoughts and repetitive behaviors. These techniques involve planned steps to face feared situations or urges while reducing unhelpful responses, and they often include practice tasks to do between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist and client discuss what feels most useful and adjust the plan as work progresses. Deanna explains options in plain language and invites feedback so interventions match the client’s goals and preferences.

Many people find online therapy helps fit care into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it easier to attend from different locations. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises and homework to suit the practical realities of online sessions.
