About
Deena Ott, LCSW, brings 23 years of clinical practice to work with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and related concerns. She maintains licenses in Texas and Arizona and has provided services to individuals in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. Her approach blends structured skill work with a person-centered stance to help clients address patterns around relationships, self-image, and coping.
Her areas of focus include family and parenting challenges, substance use and recovery, eating and body image concerns, and reactions to loss and major life transitions. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication difficulties. Her practice explicitly lists work with anger, compassion fatigue, and hospice and end-of-life topics.
Therapeutic work is described as collaborative and paced by the client. She integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with mindfulness and motivational interviewing, and she uses attachment-informed perspectives when relational patterns are central. Sessions are intended to be a space for skill building, exploration, and practical planning.

Online sessions and therapeutic style
Deena Ott offers remote therapy that combines structured skill-building with a client-centered stance. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns and DBT-informed strategies to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are presented in a collaborative way so clients help choose goals and pace.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her toolkit. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is applied when clients are considering change and want nonjudgmental support to explore readiness and options. Attachment-informed ideas guide work when relationship patterns and early attachments are relevant to current concerns.
Online appointments can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The format aims to fit different needs and communication preferences while maintaining the same therapeutic focus on skills, insight, and practical next steps.
