About Deanna
Deanna Eshler is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 20 years of experience based in Ohio. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, and the everyday strain of life changes. Her work often focuses on improving communication, self-esteem, and coping skills so people can feel more in control of their reactions and choices.
She learned through roles in community mental health centers, a foster and adoption agency, school settings, and intensive home-based counseling.
Background and approach
That background shaped her understanding of how trauma and attachment affect behavior and relationships. Deanna draws on that practical experience when she meets someone for the first time. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.
She starts by identifying strengths and clear goals. Then she uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused ideas, and mindfulness exercises to shape conversations and homework that fit each person's life. Deanna pays attention to family patterns, adoption and foster care issues, abandonment concerns, and post-traumatic stress when these are relevant.
She also helps people work through isolation, communication problems, and parenting strain. The conversation in sessions is respectful and aimed at useful, manageable change. People who want a plan-focused, compassionate counselor find her practical.
She tailors sessions to what each person needs and supports them in building long-term skills for managing emotions and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. It looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how attachment needs affect anger, trust, and communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxious or angry reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotions and then use that information to change how they respond in relationships and stressful situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick questions, ongoing coaching, or between-session reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on structured skills and emotional growth.
