Lanee Dejohnette

Lanee Dejohnette is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She aims to create a welcoming space where clients can talk about what they are feeling without judgment. Lanee encourages small, practical steps toward daily life that feel more manageable and meaningful.

She focuses on clear communication and building skills people can use between sessions. Conversations may include ways to handle social anxiety, reduce isolation and loneliness, and repair tense interactions. Lanee also supports reflection on life purpose and self-worth when those areas feel unclear or stuck.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the pace to fit their comfort. The work is collaborative - she helps people set realistic goals and tests small changes to see what helps. Progress is measured in how daily routines, mood, and relationships shift over time.

Her style is straightforward and empathetic, aiming to normalize difficult feelings while offering tools to cope. Lanee helps clients practice new communication habits and anger management techniques in ways that fit real life. She views therapy as a shared effort toward clearer choices and more satisfying everyday moments.

Lanee is licensed in Texas as an LCSW, and she works with English-speaking clients. People who are concerned about loneliness, social anxiety, or trouble finding direction often begin by describing the everyday situations that feel hardest to manage.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Lanee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach involves teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies and step-by-step behavioral experiments to test out new ways of responding. These tools help reduce immediate distress and build confidence in social situations.

Another often-used method centers on communication skill building. That includes practicing how to express needs, set boundaries, and repair conversations. These exercises aim to make everyday interactions easier and reduce the isolation that can follow repeated misunderstandings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lanee works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and methods as progress becomes clearer, so the plan evolves with the client's needs.

If you prefer online work, confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try exercises between sessions in real-life settings and then review how those attempts went during the next meeting.
