About Deanna
Deanna Hatcher is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses related areas such as chronic pain and illness, communication problems, addiction issues, fatherhood concerns, and multicultural stressors.
She keeps sessions practical and focused. Deanna uses clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Sessions often include setting small goals, practicing new ways of responding, and checking what works between meetings.
People come to her when worry, guilt, shame, or life transitions make everyday tasks harder. She helps break issues into manageable steps and supports people in rebuilding confidence and direction. That can mean tackling panic symptoms, addressing family problems, or working through midlife and money worries.
Deanna aims for straightforward conversations and plans you can use after a session. She draws on 16 years of experience to offer tools that fit daily life. Work is done in English for adults in Alabama and elsewhere within the geographic limits she accepts.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Deanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT often includes short exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and helps build motivation for change through brief, practical conversations.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and notice what improves quickly. These methods are collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which approach fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use phone-only sessions when less bandwidth is available or schedule sessions that fit a break at work. Discussing practical timing and session length happens at first contact so sessions fit everyday life.
