About Deana
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and Texas with 11 years of experience, Deana Hartshorn helps people deal with stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She works with adults who are facing common life pressures and interpersonal struggles. Sessions are conducted in English and informed by several practical therapeutic approaches.
Deana uses straightforward tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to build clearer ways of coping. She applies Cognitive Behavioral ideas, narrative techniques, and solution-focused methods to help people see patterns and try small, doable changes. Conversations are focused on what is happening now and what steps could feel manageable next.
Her method looks at the thoughts that fuel distress and then tests those thoughts against what actually helps. Narrative techniques are used to look at personal stories and spot recurring themes that leave people feeling stuck. Solution-focused ideas help set short-term goals and identify concrete actions to try between sessions.
Deana has experience guiding people through issues such as abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose or midlife change. She also addresses concerns related to forgiveness and self-love and works with women's issues described by clients.

How these approaches are used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to let the client guide what matters most in the moment. It is useful when someone wants a chance to talk through feelings and have their perspective listened to without a lot of direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it offers concrete tools to try between sessions.
Narrative Therapy examines the stories people tell about themselves and highlights alternative ways of understanding those stories. This approach can help with feelings of emptiness, shame, or issues around identity and life purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods make sense based on symptoms, goals, and personal preference. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
