About Deena
Deena Robertson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She has five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
She focuses on building a respectful, compassionate space where people can tell their story. Sessions are shaped around the client's goals and daily life. Deena uses practical tools to address panic, low mood, and self-esteem struggles while also looking at how past hurts affect current choices.
Background and approach
Her work draws on Narrative ideas that pay attention to personal stories and the meanings people give their experiences. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help people notice thoughts, try new actions, and commit to values-based goals. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships influence trust and closeness.
Deena tailors her approach for issues like abandonment, control problems, caregiving stress, body image, and communication breakdowns. She helps people facing separation, forgiveness challenges, guilt, or isolation to sort out next steps and practical coping skills. Sessions can include moment-to-moment problem solving, homework between visits, and short-term skills practice when needed.
The aim is steady progress toward clearer choices, calmer responses, and a stronger sense of purpose.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Deena directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches and how they work online
Deena uses Narrative therapy ideas that look at the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. Together you can reframe those stories to reduce blame, increase options, and make room for new choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, then choose actions that match their values rather than being driven by fear or avoidance. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about trust, closeness, and how past relationship patterns show up now.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Deena treats this as a collaborative process where she and the client try different methods and pick what feels most helpful. Goals, preferences, and daily demands shape which tools are used and how quickly the plan changes.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video and phone work well for deeper conversation and skill practice, while live chat or text can suit quick check-ins, brief coping prompts, or times when being on camera is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping focus on the therapeutic goals.
