About Deia
Deia Lawrence is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She works with individuals facing trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, LGBT concerns, and identity-related worries. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel heard and find practical steps forward.
She brings 18 years of experience with diverse communities, including work with survivors of sexual and physical trauma and people of color.
Background and approach
Deia names whole-person wellness as important and pays attention to emotional, physical, and spiritual needs when that matters to a client. She draws on multiple methods to fit what each person needs rather than using a single fixed approach. In sessions she uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and patterns that keep people stuck.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are other tools she may bring in to support coping and change. Deia has personal experience as a parent of a child with special needs, which informs her understanding of caregiver stress and parenting strain.
She has served on a nonprofit board supporting families of children with special needs, providing community-level perspective on resource challenges. Outside of work she enjoys trivia, time with her cat, and hosting friends and family. Her goal with each person is practical progress - clearer thinking, better emotional regulation, and more satisfying daily life.

Online support
How Deia’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Deia often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at core emotions and interaction patterns so people can change how they respond to strong feelings. Client-Centered work focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and then test new ways of thinking and acting.Choosing a therapy method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which approaches to emphasize as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation for emotional work while phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter contact fits a hectic schedule. These options aim to make it easier to attend regularly and keep momentum between sessions.
