About LaDeana
LaDeana Artis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of clinical experience in therapeutic roles. She practices in New Jersey and offers support for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, and anger. She uses practical, person-focused care to help people make changes that matter in daily life.
LaDeana frames her work around the person in front of her. She listens for what matters most and builds treatment from those priorities.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at helping people manage strong emotions, improve communication, and regain a sense of control over difficult situations. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single script.
That means sessions can include skill-building, values work, and strategies for coping with intense feelings. People commonly come to her for help with anger, addiction, self-esteem, parenting strain, grief, and trauma reactions. She also supports clients working through attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, and relationship communication problems.
LaDeana aims to create a practical plan clients can use between sessions. Therapy with LaDeana often focuses on small, steady changes. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way and practices new ways of responding.
The goal is clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She practices as an LCSW in New Jersey.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, practical steps in line with those values. It helps people move past avoidance and build a meaningful life even when difficult feelings remain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger by offering tools to change immediate reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. LaDeana collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. She often blends approaches so sessions match what is needed that week, whether that means practicing coping skills, working on attachment wounds, or doing values-based exercises together.
Online therapy makes these approaches easier to use in everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or work well for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get brief support between sessions or when writing helps organize thoughts. These formats give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
