More about Deon

Hi I am Deon, I am licensed in Oklahoma with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationships, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & anger management. My treatment approaches I use are Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Client Centered Therapy. I like to use CBT to help my clients think more rational about situations that they are involved rather it be with a partner or work concerns. CCT therapy allows me to use my coaching style of therapy and to be more conversational with my clients discussing and implementing goals while holding them accountable. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
