About Deidre

Deidre McLeod is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 15 years of experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stresses. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.

She uses Jungian ideas alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

Sessions often include talking through difficult memories, noticing unhelpful thinking, and practicing simple skills to reduce overwhelm. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Deidre also draws on dialectical behavior and emotionally-focused approaches for emotion regulation and relationship issues.

That makes her comfortable helping with parenting strain, caregiving stress, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She can also support people dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, body image worries, and adjustments after loss or major change. People who come to her for trauma-related work receive a trauma-informed process that attends to dissociation, abandonment themes, and attachment issues.

She has experience with adoption and foster care matters and with exploring nontraditional sexuality topics such as kink when they relate to a client’s goals. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used to set up meetings with the therapist.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and recurring life patterns to help people understand deeper themes in their experience; it can be useful for people wanting meaning and self-understanding. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behavior strategies to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That may mean mixing Jungian exploration with CBT skills or using emotionally-focused techniques for relationship or intimacy concerns.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging is useful for ongoing reminders or brief reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
