About Deidra

Deidra Bentley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience helping adults navigate major life transitions and complex emotional challenges. She offers an affirming, culturally responsive environment where clients can explore identity, process grief and trauma, and build stronger relationships while attending to the realities of living in marginalized communities.

Her practice places particular emphasis on supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and people coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with families, parents, and those facing issues such as attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care questions, and blended family dynamics. Deidra brings attention to both emotional experience and bodily awareness, integrating mindfulness and somatic-informed techniques alongside trauma-aware practices.

Therapy with Deidra is collaborative and client-centered. She draws from a range of evidence-informed methods to strengthen communication, deepen self-acceptance, and foster resilience. Her approach aims to help people reconnect with their values, manage stress, and create a steadier sense of purpose and balance in daily life.

Approaches for Online Growth and Resilience

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, supporting stress reduction, improved focus, and a greater connection to bodily signals and values.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Deidra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which strategies feel most useful and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Deidra is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, during breaks, or while traveling, and they support consistent care even when life is busy or circumstances change.
