Deanna Revels

Deanna Revels is a licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on helping adults manage trauma, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and challenges related to neurodevelopmental differences. She uses practical, structured methods in sessions and keeps the work clear and goal-oriented so people know what to expect.

Deanna earned a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and an Educational Specialist degree in Counseling from Kent State University in 2020. She holds the LPCC credential and practices in Ohio. She brings six years of clinical experience to her work and centers sessions on what each person needs in the moment.

In sessions she draws on narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult stories and reduce their hold. She also uses trauma-focused approaches for people coping with painful memories, and targeted methods for obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Sessions are focused on practical steps and learning skills that can be used between meetings.

Deanna works with a range of concerns including mood disorders, attachment and abandonment issues, dissociation, body image struggles, and the emotional fallout of separation and divorce. She also supports people facing isolation, guilt, control issues, and the impacts of domestic violence.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps clients set clear goals, track progress, and adjust techniques when something is not helping. People who prefer concrete strategies and a calm, structured approach may find this a good fit.

Evidence-informed approaches and online therapy

Deanna uses several evidence-based techniques that are easy to describe. Narrative approaches help people tell their story in new ways, separate painful events from identity, and find different choices in daily life. Trauma-focused methods address painful memories and the ways those memories continue to cause distress, using stepwise techniques to reduce reactivity. For obsessive-compulsive patterns she uses targeted, structured exercises that focus on reducing compulsive behavior and building tolerance to uncertainty.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Deanna works collaboratively with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She will adjust techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels workable for the client.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also offers options for people who prefer not to meet in person or who need to schedule around work and caregiving. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
