About Deana

Deana Steele is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, family strains, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. Her work emphasizes clear, practical steps that clients can use between sessions.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with people who face mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, personality disorder traits, and the effects of traumatic brain injury. She also addresses issues related to autism and Asperger Syndrome, control struggles, and problems that arise during young adulthood. This experience informs how she tailors each session.

Deana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to what each person needs. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, developing coping skills, and building everyday routines that reduce stress. She aims for straightforward strategies that feel doable.

The approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s readiness. Deana listens for practical goals and helps set small steps toward them. Parents who are worried about a teen or young adult will find an emphasis on real-world problem solving.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Deana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person's needs. One commonly used approach focuses on recognizing unhelpful thinking and testing it with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people notice patterns and try small changes that often lead to less stress.

Another approach emphasizes skills training for managing intense feelings and improving daily routines. That work includes learning specific coping tools, planning small behavioral experiments, and building habits that support steadier mood and better self-esteem. These methods are aimed at concrete, practical outcomes rather than abstract theory.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Progress is reviewed along the way and the plan is adjusted as needed so the approach stays helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and enable shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain consistency while they practice skills in everyday life.
