01About Deanna
Deanna Revels uses narrative therapy as a central approach to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their lives. She combines that with targeted trauma work and structured exposure methods when those tools fit the problem. Deanna holds an LPCC and works from Ohio with adults seeking change in mood, anxiety, trauma, or obsessive thoughts.
She focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions. That might mean breaking a troubling pattern into smaller parts, practicing gradual exposure to a fear, or using eye movement procedures to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, so clients leave with clear next steps. Deanna has six years of counseling experience since completing graduate study at Kent State University in 2020. Her background includes work with people facing trauma-related disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, dissociation, and neurodevelopmental differences such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
She also addresses relationship and life concerns like abandonment, communication problems, and divorce or separation. She helps people deal with shame, guilt, body image struggles, and the loneliness that can follow major life changes. Deanna also supports clients wrestling with life purpose and co-occurring mood disorders.
The approach is collaborative, and the pace is set by each person’s needs. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and practical details. To start, the process asks for a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling based on therapist availability.

How specific approaches guide online work
Deanna blends narrative therapy with trauma-focused techniques and structured exposure work. Narrative therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves by separating problems from their identity and exploring alternative meanings. Trauma-focused techniques aim to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and reactions so daily life feels more manageable. Exposure and response prevention is a stepwise method for reducing compulsive behaviors and anxiety by practicing toleration of distress without performing rituals.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods over time. This helps ensure the work fits the person’s needs, whether the focus is processing a trauma, addressing OCD patterns, or improving everyday functioning.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow consistent weekly check-ins. Some formats also make it simpler to do shorter check-ins on a work break or to avoid being on camera when that is helpful. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when scheduling to find what works best for daily life.
