About Deanna
Deanna Bibby, LCSW, uses trauma-informed therapies to help people move past painful memories and reduce ongoing symptoms. She brings a calm, respectful manner to each session and focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. Deanna encourages small, steady progress so people feel safer and more in control over time.
With 21 years of experience, Deanna has worked with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. She also addresses trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and related issues like guilt, shame, and abandonment.
Background and approach
She helps people struggling with workplace stress, caregiver strain, and questions about life purpose. Her approach blends several methods so care matches each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts.
Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current behavior. Deanna also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, as one of the tools to address traumatic memories. She combines that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on values and meaningful action when avoidance becomes a problem.
People can expect sessions that are collaborative and down-to-earth. Deanna listens first, then suggests doable steps and skills to try between sessions. She adapts pacing and techniques to each person's needs and goals.
She practices in Virginia and conducts sessions in English. Her style aims to make therapy understandable and applicable to daily life, so people can carry forward what they learn.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Deanna uses approaches that focus on both memories and present-day choices. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to address distressing memories by helping the brain process them so they no longer feel as overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences, then recommend and try methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth sessions that resemble in-person meetings. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
