Deia Lawrence, LPC

Deia Lawrence is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship struggles, caregiving strain, and challenges around sexual identity. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse and those managing parenting concerns and career decisions.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that increase anger or anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relationship or attachment issues fuel repeated conflict.

Mindfulness practices are offered to help with staying present and noticing physical signs of rising anger. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and encourage small, realistic steps toward change. Sessions emphasize clear communication, manageable strategies, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with people from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, survivors of sexual and physical trauma, and members of the LGBT community. She has personal experience as a parent of a child with special needs, which informs how she supports caregivers and parents under stress.

Outside of practice she serves on a nonprofit board assisting families of children with special needs. She enjoys watching quiz shows, spending time with her cat, and hosting friends and family. Her style is straightforward and focused on helping people handle anger, stress, and relationship strain in everyday life.
