About Deana
Deana Steele is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado with 21 years in practice. She works on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting and family concerns using evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
She helps people talk through mood problems and obsessive-compulsive patterns. She also supports those dealing with control issues, personality challenges, and impacts from traumatic brain injury.

Deana has spent two decades working with young adults and with people who grew up as children and teens. She offers a direct, problem-focused style that aims to make problems easier to manage day to day. Conversations include skills practice, short-term strategies, and discussion of goals for therapy.
Her work addresses family problems and parenting concerns by helping individuals sort roles, expectations, and communication habits. For people on the autism spectrum or with Asperger Syndrome she concentrates on clear routines and concrete coping tools. She also supports those experiencing self-harm urges by identifying triggers and safer alternatives.
Sessions are grounded in practical, evidence-based approaches rather than abstract theory. Deana explains options and helps clients choose which methods to try. She guides people through step-by-step changes and measures progress along the way.

Approaches used online and how they help
Deana works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and behavioral change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with specific coping steps that reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps people who struggle with daily worry, obsessive thinking, or persistent low mood by giving clear tasks to practice between sessions.Another approach she uses centers on problem-solving within family and parenting concerns. It involves mapping interaction patterns, clarifying roles, and rehearsing different ways of responding. This helps with recurring family conflicts and with parents who want manageable strategies for challenging situations.
Therapists and clients choose the right approach together. The therapist will review options, explain what to expect from each method, and adjust the plan based on the client’s goals and progress. Collaboration guides the selection of techniques and pacing.
Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when people only need brief support, and reduce travel time. These practical advantages can help people maintain consistent work on goals while balancing everyday demands.
