Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan , LPC

Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience who focuses on helping people regain balance in their thoughts, feelings, and daily functioning. She brings more than a decade of career counseling experience and has spent over five years supporting individuals facing anxiety, burnout, stress, depression, and related concerns.

She uses a collaborative approach that invites clients to take an active role in the work from the outset, tailoring therapeutic concepts to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Dr. Bass-Carrigan often frames emotional states as fluid, noting that energy and resilience can ebb and flow, and she keeps the reminder "you can't pour from an empty cup!" at the center of her practice. Her goal is to help people identify practical ways to replenish their resources so they can continue building healthier relationships, careers, and personal well-being.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, addictions, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, depression, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She emphasizes client collaboration and individualized planning to support each person’s goals and priorities.

Approach-focused Online Therapy and Practical Support

Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address a range of concerns in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people explore their values and goals while feeling heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing skills to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Bass-Carrigan works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows therapists and clients to adapt strategies over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other responsibilities. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for ongoing care and skill practice.
