About Dea
Dea Robinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years in the field. She began her path in mental health serving 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 services.
She works in straightforward, down-to-earth ways. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Dea uses proven methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and trauma-related symptoms while also addressing relationship and self-esteem concerns. Her background includes work with addiction treatment, eating and sleeping difficulties, attention differences such as ADHD, and challenges tied to immigration or veteran experiences.
Dea also supports people dealing with anger, career transitions, parenting strain, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Therapeutic tools include cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, motivational interviewing, client-centered listening, and EMDR approaches. She also brings movement-based and creative options like somatic exercises and art activities when they fit a person's needs.
Outside of clinical work Dea enjoys live music, painting, classic cars, camping, travel, and cooking. She invites people to bring their stories and the things that matter to them into sessions, including songs or memories that have meaning.

Online support
How EMDR, CBT, and ACT can work online
EMDR uses guided attention and bilateral stimulation to help process distressing memories and sensations; online sessions can include verbal processing along with coached bilateral exercises and somatic support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and building concrete skills for behavior change, which transfers well to video or phone work through worksheets and in-session practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages identifying personal values and taking small committed steps, often using mindfulness and values-based exercises that translate to text, chat, or video formats.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust as work progresses. Clients often mix elements from different methods to match their needs and pace.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options can make scheduling easier and let people choose the way they communicate best while working toward their goals.
