Background and approach
Body image and care before and after bariatric surgery are areas she addresses. She also supports people facing shame, grief over abandonment, and feelings of isolation. Her style is respectful and compassionate.
Conversations and plans are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. She tailors how she talks and what tools she uses so the work fits the individual. De-Ann draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions.
She helps people build clearer communication, manage mood shifts, and work toward greater self-acceptance and purpose. Sessions move at a pace that feels realistic for daily life. Throughout her practice she emphasizes sensitivity and active listening.
The goal is steady, manageable progress on real problems like anxiety, trauma responses, or midlife adjustment. De-Ann provides care in English from her California license and aims to make therapy understandable and usable for busy lives.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
De-Ann uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems. One approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and stress through targeted exercises and simple daily practices. These techniques help people reduce intense worry and regain a sense of control.Another emphasis is on processing trauma and difficult experiences in small, manageable steps. This work helps lessen the weight of past events and supports clearer thinking and improved mood. A third area often used is work on self-image and self-worth, helping people change harsh self-talk and build more supportive inner habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences and then recommends techniques that fit your situation. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and messaging is convenient for short check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while staying connected with a licensed professional.
