About DeShaun
DeShaun Reed is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Tennessee. She brings four years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also helps people navigate major life changes and the practical strain they bring.
DeShaun creates a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can talk about what matters to them. She emphasizes clear, straightforward conversation and practical steps clients can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Her aim is to make each meeting feel manageable and focused on immediate needs. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and works with clients to try different ways of responding. Conversations often include checking daily habits, coping strategies, and ways to build self-compassion.
DeShaun uses simple tools to reduce overwhelm and increase forward motion. She also supports people dealing with body image concerns, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, midlife transitions, money and workplace stress, and issues around sexuality and self-love. These topics are addressed with direct, respectful talk and practical options for change.
DeShaun understands starting therapy can feel daunting. She encourages small first steps - like a short video or phone chat - so clients can see how talk therapy fits into their lives.
Approaches that guide online sessions
DeShaun uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change. One common approach she relies on involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking to lower anxiety and lift mood. This helps people who feel stuck in worry or negative self-talk.Another approach centers on building consistent daily habits and coping skills. Sessions often include concrete strategies for managing stress, improving sleep and attention, and handling strong emotions in healthier ways. That work suits people facing grief, midlife shifts, or workplace strain.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your goals and daily life, then try methods that match what you need. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together so the plan fits your pace and preferences.
Online formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy days. Video calls let conversations feel closer to in-person sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when being on camera is taxing. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when a short, timed exchange is preferred. These options make it easier to keep consistent progress while balancing work and family demands.
