About Deana
Deana Thuer is a licensed mental health practitioner (LMHP) in Nebraska with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She is direct, down-to-earth, and willing to call things as she sees them while still offering warmth and validation.
Deana helps with everyday stress and anxiety, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, major life changes, anger, and challenges tied to trauma or addiction.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to bipolar disorder, attention-deficit issues, and personality concerns when those come up. Her typical session blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with trauma-focused tools such as EMDR when appropriate. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to build coping skills and increase motivation.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical, with a mix of validation and gentle challenge. Clients who appreciate clear feedback, humor, and a therapist who is willing to be a little blunt often find her style a good fit. She aims to help people notice what matters most to them and take concrete steps toward those values.
Deana works with people across a range of concerns rather than focusing on a single diagnosis. She conducts sessions in English and offers several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small consistent steps toward them. It helps people reduce unhelpful struggles with thoughts and build a life guided by what matters most. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the reactions they trigger. It can be useful for people who have specific traumatic events or long-standing trauma symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which is helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Deana will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, comfort level, and what shows results in early sessions. She aims to adjust strategies as needed rather than sticking rigidly to a single method.
Online therapy with Deana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and tighter schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
