About Deanna

Deanna Bibby is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 21 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse. Deanna aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful for each person who reaches out.

She approaches work with attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current feelings. That perspective helps when people are coping with abandonment, communication problems, or trust issues.

Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build clearer values and committed action. Deanna draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person's goals and pace. She supports people through caregiver stress, workplace strain, and the challenges many young adults face today.

Conversations are practical and grounded in everyday life, not in jargon. Her background includes a long span of clinical work in varied settings in Virginia. Deanna offers EMDR as one of the tools she can use for people coping with post-traumatic stress or past abuse.

She adapts interventions to fit how someone prefers to work and what they need right now. Sessions tend to combine short-term skills for immediate relief and longer-term work aimed at deeper patterns. Deanna encourages open discussion about what is and isn’t helping, so plans can change as progress is made.

Online support

How attachment and action-based approaches translate online

Deanna uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions. That approach helps when people notice recurring trust issues, fear of abandonment, or struggles in close relationships. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative, and the plan can change based on what is helping and what isn’t.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and have deeper conversational work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, homework support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care across distances.
