Deanna Rasnic , LPC

Deanna Rasnic brings more than 20 years of counseling experience to her work, approaching therapy as a vocational calling and a chance to walk alongside people during difficult seasons. She helps clients identify how past experiences affect present functioning and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address long-standing patterns that can block progress. Her goal is to help clients gain insight, move through healing, and reengage with life in practical, sustainable ways.

Clients can expect an empathetic, non-judgmental, and straightforward style. She combines genuine concern with clear observations and actionable recommendations, offering a space to sort through what is on the mind and heart without the complications of everyday relationships. Because she is a counselor rather than a friend or family member, she focuses on cutting through distractions to reach the root of what is troubling clients and then guides them step by step toward the changes they want to make.

Her clinical background includes more than a decade in private practice serving individuals, couples, adolescents, and families, as well as extensive agency experience that includes substantial work with adoption processes. She has supported birth parents, adoptive families, and adopted children both before and after placement, and has worked with a wide range of concerns such as marriage and divorce issues, blended family dynamics, parenting at different life stages, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, addictions, boundary setting, and recovery from past hurts.

She holds professional licensure and supervisory credentials in Texas. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) - a state license to practice counseling - originally issued by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors in 1999. She also holds LPC Supervisor credentials, which qualify her to provide supervision to other counselors, and is a Licensed Child Placing Administrator, a credential related to overseeing child placement services. Her academic training includes a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Master of Arts in Religious Education from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Louisiana at Monroe.

CBT-Based Care and Practical Online Support

Deanna Rasnic primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a focused approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns. CBT is useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, coping with life changes, and many day-to-day difficulties where thinking and behavior interact.

Alongside CBT she emphasizes practical, skills-oriented guidance that helps clients move from insight to action. This direct and solution-focused stance supports work on relationship dynamics, grief, parenting challenges, and recovery from past hurts in ways that fit clients' real lives.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Deanna works with each person to determine which strategies best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, connect from different locations, and continue care when life changes occur, while working with licensed professionals who tailor their approach to each client's situation.
