About Devona
Devona (Dee) Head brings three decades of clinical work to her practice in Indiana. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and she focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and low self-esteem. Dee aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.
She often helps people recover from abusive relationships, including those involving narcissistic partners. Sessions are designed to be honest and straightforward.
Background and approach
Dee encourages clients to name their feelings and sort through painful memories at a pace that fits them. Her style is warm and client-focused. Dee creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
She listens closely and works with each person to build coping skills they can use between sessions. Over thirty years she has worked with many issues tied to trauma and loss. That experience shapes how she responds when people bring complex histories or ongoing stress.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Practical tools are part of the work. Dee uses approaches that help with unhelpful thinking patterns, grounding from intense emotions, and exploring personal values.
She supports people in making choices that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. When someone reaches out, Dee focuses on clear next steps. Together they set goals, track small gains, and adjust the plan as needed.
The process is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and supports people in naming their needs and values. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort through difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation or self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Plans are revisited and adjusted as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats offer flexible ways to engage in therapy. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send short messages or updates between sessions and can fit into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and keep momentum toward the goals they set with their therapist.
