About Deanna

Deanna Rasnic is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 28 years of experience. She works with adults on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, grief, addictions, parenting concerns, and anger. She also helps with issues like body image, codependency, blended family challenges, and adoption-related concerns.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which she applies to how past hurts affect present behavior. Sessions are practical and direct. Deanna aims to help people see patterns, test different responses, and practice new ways of coping so old problems interfere less with daily life.

Her background includes long experience in both agency settings and private practice. She has provided counseling across life stages, including pre- and post-adoption work with birth parents, adoptive families, and adopted children. That experience informs how she talks about family of origin, attachment, and blended family issues.

Deanna describes her approach as straightforward and honest. She offers observations, feedback, and clear suggestions while helping clients sort through painful memories and current worries. Clients who want practical techniques for anger, anxiety, or relationship communication often find CBT-based tools useful in sessions.

Her education includes a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Master of Arts in Religious Education, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. The combination of clinical and family-focused training shapes how she addresses parenting, boundaries, and coping with life changes.

How sessions work

How CBT shapes online work and choosing an approach

Deanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on approach that links thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts, and practicing different responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right method is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. Expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and homework tasks to try between sessions so progress shows in everyday situations.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow more flexible timing for brief strategy sessions or focused skill practice. Confirm current session options and formats when you schedule so they match your needs and routines.
