About Neva
LCSW in Texas with 10 years of experience, Neva Deschner helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem. She works with issues including addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, domestic violence, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and LGBTQ-related challenges. Neva uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work.
Neva focuses on practical skills and clear steps. She listens to each person's story and points out strengths they already have. Sessions often include talking through what is most pressing and trying new ways of responding to stress or difficult thoughts.
CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test different behaviors. DBT is used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interactions. Neva draws on both approaches to match techniques to a person's current needs.
She has ten years of professional practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. That experience includes work with people facing grief, motivation and confidence challenges, and those dealing with severe stress or burnout. Her background includes attention to end-of-life and domestic violence concerns.
Neva invites people to take a practical first step. She asks about goals, current struggles, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she and the client plan straightforward, doable steps to try between sessions.

How CBT and DBT shape remote sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In sessions this often means identifying a thought pattern, trying a short experiment, and reviewing what changed. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation concerns.DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and tolerating distress without making things worse. Work with DBT often includes emotion regulation techniques, mindfulness practice, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with relationship strain, self-control challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of starting therapy. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods to prioritize based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, video meetings when visual cues help, or phone conversations when bandwidth is lower. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions practical and focused so clients can apply skills between meetings.
