About Dea
Dea Robinson is a licensed mental health counselor with 14 years of experience. She began her career in military mental health as a Navy Corpsman and psychiatric technician before completing a degree in clinical counseling. Dea brings practical experience from crisis and emergency settings, inpatient and outpatient care, and school-based therapy to her work with individuals.
She aims to create a calm, down-to-earth space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, and substance concerns.
Background and approach
Her approach blends talk therapy with body-based methods. This includes somatic techniques and bilateral exercises alongside cognitive and acceptance-focused tools. Dea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered ways of working.
She also incorporates simple nutritional and creative ideas when they fit a person's goals. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, skills to manage symptoms, and learning how the body holds stress. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, ADHD and autism, mood disorders, addiction, parenting stress, and career or life transitions.
Dea has familiarity with psychotropic medications and how they can fit into broader care plans. Sessions are offered in English from Indiana. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to meet.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist match.
How Dea’s Approaches Fit into Online Therapy
Dea commonly uses Somatic Therapy to help people notice how emotions show up in the body and to build simple, body-based strategies for calming and grounding. This can help with stress, trauma-related tension, sleep disruption, and eating or impulse concerns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on values, committed action, and accepting difficult thoughts rather than fighting them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice small, concrete behaviour changes for mood and anxiety symptoms.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and then try methods that seem most helpful. Over time the plan can shift if different tools or pacing are needed.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can feel more flexible for those on the go; and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options help people access care in ways that match their comfort and daily schedule.
