About Dea
Dea Robinson is an Indiana LMHC with 14 years of experience in clinical counseling and behavioral health. She began her career in the US Navy as a Corpsman and Psychiatric Technician, and later completed a degree in clinical counseling. She lists stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting, and other life concerns among her areas of focus.
Her background includes work in emergency and crisis settings, inpatient units for adults and teens, addiction treatment, school-based therapy, and outpatient primary care. That mix means she is familiar with psychotropic medications, Autism and ADHD presentations, and practical ways to manage mood and behavior.
Dea uses several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing. She also integrates somatic exercises, bilateral movement work, and creative art techniques when they fit the goals of the person she is seeing.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions often include talking through problems, trying short skill-based exercises, and planning small steps to test change between meetings. She may also offer sensory or movement exercises and art-based activities for people who find them useful.
Outside of work she enjoys live music, painting, cruising classic cars, camping, and cooking German food. She welcomes a conversation about a meaningful song or creative interest as part of building connection.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter to the person. It can help with anxiety, stress, and persistent struggles where avoidance keeps people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful habits. CBT is commonly used for depression, anxiety, sleep, and mood regulation.Dea will work collaboratively to find which approach fits best. She will listen to your goals and try techniques to see what helps. Together you and the therapist decide whether to use ACT, CBT, EMDR, or somatic and creative exercises based on progress and preference.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a weeknight, shorten a check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel time. They also let therapists use guided movement, breathing, or art prompts during a session when those methods are part of the plan. If you have questions about how an approach or a particular session will work, mention them when you complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
