About Dea
Dea Robinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years working in clinical settings. She began her path in mental health as a Navy Corpsman and psychiatric technician, then completed a degree in clinical counseling. Her background includes crisis and ER work, addiction treatment, inpatient care, school-based therapy, and outpatient primary care. Dea brings practical experience with mood disorders, ADHD, autism, and psychotropic medications.
Dea focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep-related concerns. She also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, addictions, and changes in life like midlife transitions or career shifts. Conversations in session are direct and practical, centered on what a person wants to change and small steps to get there.
Her approach blends several methods to match a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in identifying values and committing to actions that matter. She also uses EMDR for trauma processing and Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change.
Dea often includes somatic exercises, bilateral stimulation, creative art activities, and food-mood education when helpful. Sessions emphasize real skills people can use between meetings. She invites music or personal interests into conversation when it supports healing.
She practices in Indiana and offers sessions on a schedule that includes weekday evenings and Sundays. Prospective clients select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters and take steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It often focuses on present-moment awareness and small actions that match a person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process traumatic memories; it pairs focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation and can reduce the intensity of distressing memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dea will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and what methods feel most comfortable. Together they pick strategies and adjust them over time so sessions stay useful and manageable.
