About Deanna
Deanna Rasnic is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on parenting concerns as well as stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and depression. She has 28 years of counseling experience and uses clear, practical guidance to help clients move forward. Deanna aims to help people sort through painful experiences and find steps that lead to change.
Her approach is straightforward and empathetic. She listens without judgment and offers direct observations and practical strategies.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a frequent part of her work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Deanna draws on long experience in both independent practice and agency settings. She has supported people through adoption-related issues, blended family concerns, co-parenting after divorce, grief, addictions, and body image struggles.
That background informs how she helps people handle present struggles that trace back to past events. Sessions tend to focus on understanding patterns, setting realistic goals, and practicing new skills between meetings. Deanna emphasizes simple, manageable steps so changes fit into busy lives.
She balances empathy with honest feedback to help clients see practical options. Parents often come for help with behavior, communication, boundary setting, and the stress of raising children. Deanna helps parents sort priorities, respond to family conflict, and rebuild routines that reduce tension and improve connection.

CBT and practical online care for parenting and life stress
Deanna frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, commonly called CBT, to help people notice thoughts that keep them stuck and try different responses. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing small behavior changes, and building new habits that reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.The therapist focuses on clear, practical tools that clients can use between sessions. She works collaboratively to choose approaches that fit each person's goals and daily routines. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan based on results and feedback.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when movement is limited, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing check-ins and reminders. This range makes it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
