LaDeana Artis , LCSW

LaDeana Artis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience in the mental health field. She practices from a person-centered perspective, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration as she supports individuals and families through complex life challenges.

Over the course of her career she has worked with diverse populations presenting with trauma, abuse, neglect, abandonment and attachment concerns, personality disorders, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, family conflict, perinatal mental health issues, and relationship or marital difficulties. She also addresses a broad range of issues including grief, addiction, parenting challenges, self-esteem and career-related stressors.

Her clinical work is integrative and tailored to each person or family. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), as well as interpersonal and trauma-informed methods, structural family therapy, motivational interviewing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate. Treatment plans are developed to match the presenting needs and strengths of the individual or the family system.

She believes that the first step toward meaningful change is acknowledging a desire to improve one’s life. With patience and practical interventions, she helps clients explore their experiences, build coping skills, and pursue sustainable pathways toward healthier relationships and emotional balance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

LaDeana Artis uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s values and goals guide treatment. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is helpful for people seeking a respectful, individual-focused process for issues like relationship strain, self-esteem, or life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and emotional regulation. It can be useful for people navigating abandonment, attachment concerns, or difficulties in close relationships by addressing relational dynamics and fostering more secure connections.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in clarifying their values and taking practical steps toward a meaningful life, even in the presence of uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She and each client work together to identify which methods best match the person’s needs, preferences, and goals, and they adjust strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety of formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access support from wherever the client is located.
