01About Deana
Deana Steele is a licensed professional counselor with more than 21 years of clinical experience in Colorado. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and parenting or family challenges. Her work is direct and practical, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.
She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them learn small skills they can use right away. Sessions are a mix of talking, problem solving, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Deana favors evidence-based approaches and adapts them to each person’s needs and pace. Many people come to her with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, or struggles related to traumatic brain injury. She also supports those navigating autism or Asperger Syndrome and people wrestling with control issues or personality-related challenges.
Deana helps young adults process transitions and build stronger coping habits. Her style is steady and compassionate but straightforward. She encourages practical steps, plain language, and realistic goals.
Parents find her helpful when managing family tensions and everyday parenting strain. Deana works with clients to set clear goals and track gradual progress. She explains options, adjusts plans when something isn’t working, and focuses on tools that apply to daily life.
The aim is to leave each session with at least one practical thing to try before the next meeting.

How evidence-based methods work online
Deana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps with panic, worry, or depressive patterns. Another approach focuses on managing compulsive or repetitive behaviors by breaking them into manageable steps and practicing different responses, which can lower the urge to act on compulsions and build confidence.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist and client review current concerns, past responses to help, and personal goals. Together they pick methods to try, check progress, and change course when something isn’t working. This collaborative method helps match techniques to what the client values and needs.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people work face-to-face when a more traditional session helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option when a short check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief exchanges, ongoing check-ins, or when writing out thoughts helps more than speaking. These options increase flexibility and make regular work on goals more practical for many people.
