About
DeAnna Vaughan-Vitale, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who provides therapy for adults navigating the emotional and practical demands of major life transitions. Licensed in Arkansas and Oklahoma, she brings 30 years of counseling experience and a steady, compassionate presence to the work of understanding patterns, processing pain, and moving toward meaningful change.
Her practice is grounded in helping individuals make sense of depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and grief, while also addressing everyday pressures that can wear people down over time, such as workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and relationship or family strain. DeAnna supports clients as they explore personal identity, values, and life direction, with an emphasis on building resilience and self-compassion rather than simply pushing through.
DeAnna’s clinical focus includes concerns such as caregiver stress, midlife transitions, multicultural experiences, and the complex emotions that can accompany codependency, isolation, and personal transformation. With a collaborative style and deep respect for each person’s story, she helps clients develop practical coping strategies and a clearer sense of what they want their lives to stand for as they move forward.

Practical Therapy Approaches, Designed for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while also identifying values and taking steps that align with what matters most. It can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, grief, or life transitions make it hard to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. By learning to recognize unhelpful patterns and practice new responses, clients can build everyday coping skills for concerns such as depression, anxiety, and overwhelm.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can support clients who feel flooded by strong emotions, have difficulty with relationships, or want clearer strategies for handling conflict and high-stress situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. DeAnna Vaughan-Vitale works collaboratively, tailoring sessions to each client’s goals, preferences, and pace, and adjusting methods over time as needs become clearer.
Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support without adding extra logistical stress. Clients can connect with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, choosing options that fit their schedule, energy level, and communication style.
