Deana Haynes

Offering Extended Hours

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for supporting individuals, children, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and currently offer telehealth sessions for clients located in Florida and in-person and telehealth in North Carolina. I provide a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy. My style is warm, empathic, and sometimes humorous—but always direct and focused on helping you meet your goals. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can work together to build coping skills, improve emotional well-being, and foster resilience.

I specialize in behavioral health and trauma, drawing from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness practices, and spiritually-informed work to help clients heal and grow. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, family conflict, and substance use concerns. Whether you're feeling stuck or just need support moving forward, I’m here to help you proceed through life in a more empowered and positive way.

The first session will mostly be about getting to know each other and understanding what brings you in. I’ll ask some questions to learn more about you, and you’re welcome to share whatever feels comfortable at your pace. I’ll also explain how therapy works, including confidentiality and what you can expect from our work together. Most importantly, this is a space for you, and we’ll figure things out together as we go. You are safe here.
