About DeAnna
DeAnna Christian is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship strains. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make real changes in daily life.
She draws on 17 years of experience and blends several methods to match each person's needs. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what is causing distress and what can be changed right away.
Background and approach
DeAnna listens and helps clients set realistic steps they can try between sessions. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and abuse, parenting and caregiver stress, substance use, ADHD, grief, and career pressures.
She has personal experience as a foster parent and adoptive parent, and she serves as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), which informs her perspective on family and child welfare concerns. In sessions she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She treats people as individuals rather than labels.
That means sessions often include skills practice, problem-solving, and exploring patterns that keep problems active. DeAnna uses recognizable methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. She helps people struggling with anger and other concerns find clearer ways to cope and make steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
DeAnna often uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people deal with anger, anxiety, and everyday stress. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to change reactions and cope differently.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT skills teach techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be especially useful for managing anger and intense stress. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs and goals, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and real-time skill practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and chat or text can support brief updates or coaching-style moments between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to keep momentum between meetings.
