Deidra Rimsky

Deidra Rimsky is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas; she holds a Texas LPC credential (license number 64279) and brings 16 years of experience to her clinical work. She supports people facing a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, family and parenting conflicts, intimacy-related issues, relationship difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, career challenges, anger management, self-esteem issues, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and coaching needs.

She recognizes that beginning counseling can feel intimidating, especially with a new provider, and she welcomes those taking that first step. Her clinical focus and passion include helping people manage stressful life events and symptoms such as anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and grief, and she has worked with numerous women experiencing relationship and fertility concerns.

Deidra’s experience includes roles in domestic violence and sexual assault shelters and outreach settings, community mental health, college counseling, military and veteran services, and broader community-based practice. She primarily draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, while keeping sessions person-centered so that interventions are chosen collaboratively and aligned with each person’s goals.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach grounded in compassion, kindness, empathy, gentle accountability, and practical strategies to reduce stress and increase relaxation. She typically coordinates scheduling through the chat platform; if no suitable times appear on her calendar a message can be sent to explore options. She makes an effort to respond at least once per weekday and may reply more often depending on her schedule; messages sent over the weekend may not receive a reply until the following Monday. She looks forward to hearing from prospective clients and supporting their progress.
