About Deirdre
Deirdre Owens is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada with five years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, low self-esteem, and family concerns. She also focuses on attachment issues, blended family challenges, and communication problems.
Her approach is straightforward. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the client. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people name and work with strong emotions. Conversations are practical and aimed at changing unhelpful patterns.
Deirdre pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she talks about closeness, avoidance, and trust. Client-Centered Therapy influences the way she responds, keeping the client’s goals central to each meeting.
Clients bring concerns like panic attacks, mood disorders, chronic illness, guilt, or trouble with self-love. She also addresses multicultural concerns and challenges that come with blended family life. Work may include building communication skills, addressing shame, or finding life purpose.
Sessions focus on clear steps and real conversations. To begin, potential clients use the site process to match and schedule a first meeting. Deirdre works in English and practices in Nevada as an LCPC.
How EFT and Related Approaches Are Used Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming intense emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It can help people recognize interaction cycles that keep distress going and practice new ways of responding.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and clarifies personal values to guide actions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating that feel more connected and steady.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
