DeAnna Vaughan-Vitale

DeAnna Vaughan-Vitale is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Arkansas and Oklahoma who brings nearly three decades of counseling experience to her work. She focuses on guiding people through difficult life transitions and complex emotional concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, and grief. Her practice also addresses a broad range of challenges such as relationship and family issues, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, caregiver stress, and self-esteem difficulties.

Her approach centers on creating a respectful, collaborative therapeutic environment where individuals can explore values, reactions, and patterns that affect daily life. She emphasizes practical strategies alongside deeper exploration, helping people build resilience, self-compassion, and clearer direction when facing midlife changes, cultural or identity-related questions, codependency, or isolation. DeAnna works with each person to identify goals and develop tailored steps toward greater emotional balance and more effective coping.

Licensed as an LCSW, she integrates several evidence-informed methods to match a person’s needs and preferences, and she maintains a professional focus on supporting clients through transitions such as parenting challenges, caregiving demands, divorce or separation, and recovery from loss or trauma.
