More about Deia
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a professional counselor licensed in Wisconsin who has over ten years of experience working with individuals from a variety of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I have experience working with survivors of sexual and physical trauma, persons of color, and members of the LGBTQ community. With regard to specific conditions I have helped clients with, I have helped clients address conflicts surrounding sexual identity, feelings of marginalization, social identity, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, I have also worked with clients dealing with parenting issues, career concerns, and grief and loss. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness and focus on treating the mind, body and spirit. My counseling style is integrative, utilizing aspects of person-centered therapy, CBT, trauma informed care, and stages of change.
As the parent of a child with special needs I believe that I have knowledge and insight that may be helpful to those dealing with similar parenting challenges. I serve on the board of a non profit organization that assists families of children with special needs, most of whom are socioeconomically disadvantaged and Latino. In my free time I enjoy binge watching Jeopardy!, playing with my cat, and hosting parties for my friends and family. Regardless of your desire to seek help, I treat all of my clients with compassion, empathy and respect. My goal is to help empower you to live the best life you can, and I am excited to partner with you on that journey!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I appreciate Deia! She listens to what you have to say, then offers great feedback and support in return.
Deia, is an amazing therapist! She really listens to understand what your true needs are. In working with her in just 2 sessions I’ve already made so much progress with my controlling my anger. Couldn’t more highly recommend!
Deia is a great listener. She offers a generous array of insight and is easy to talk to.
She's very good at her job
I’ve had 2 sessions with Deia, but I can say that she definitely takes the time to listen and actively tries to help. She has sent me numerous informational videos and/or work sheets to help me understand what it is that I am going through. She is very disarming which is great and I really feel safe and secure discussing things with her.
Very happy with my session
Deia has been a great counselor. Consistent energy, a great listener, and offers true support and resources to better my mental health. She is the only therapist I have tried on here that sends a follow up after our sessions. I highly recommend her!
I feel so lucky to have been matched with Deia. She is an incredible counselor, who is an amazing listener, but also provides relatable examples from her own life, which I found very helpful. It is clear that Deia is passionate about her job and is on a mission to get her clients the help that they need. I would highly recommend working with her.
She is very professional, offers good advice, and asks good questions.
Deia is responsive, helpful, and professional. A fantastic counselor!
