About Deandriea
Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan is an LPC who focuses on helping people regain a sense of balance in everyday life. She works with concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship issues, career transitions, and burnout. Her tone is direct and encouraging for people who want practical change.
She draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing. Sessions emphasize clear goals and hands-on strategies. The work often centers on identifying unhelpful thinking, building coping skills, and practicing new behaviors between meetings.
Her background includes a decade of clinical experience and many years providing career counseling. That experience informs a practical way of addressing workplace stress, role transitions, and career decision-making alongside personal concerns. She describes emotional energy as something that needs regular refilling and helps people find concrete ways to restore it.
Clients can expect a collaborative relationship. The therapist invites people to take an active role in setting goals and choosing techniques that fit their life. She uses short-term tools and longer-range planning depending on the concern.
The tone in sessions is straightforward and supportive. Dr. Bass-Carrigan aims to help people leave each session with a clear next step, whether that is a coping exercise, a change in routine, or a focused behavior to try.
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities; online sessions using this approach center on the client's goals and preferences and follow the client's lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to try different ways of thinking and behaving; online CBT often pairs talk with worksheets and between-session practice. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships and can be used online to learn and rehearse concrete coping strategies.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, what has helped in the past, and what feels realistic. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan over time based on what works.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing for appointments during breaks or after work. They also allow work on practical tasks like thought records or skills practice during the week, which helps apply strategies between meetings.
