Dr. DeAnna Dotson

Hi, I’m Dr. DeAnna Dotson. I hold a Doctor of Human Services degree and am a Texas Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I support adults living with psychotic-spectrum conditions and bipolar disorder who are working to maintain stability, rebuild confidence, and navigate everyday life. I also support caregivers managing the emotional demands of helping a loved one with serious mental illness. My clinical background includes work with adults experiencing complex mental health needs across behavioral health settings.

My approach is warm, direct, and solution-oriented. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused, and strengths-based strategies to help clients understand patterns, strengthen coping skills, and make practical changes in daily life. Therapy with me is supportive, but also purposeful and goal-focused. I work best with adults seeking ongoing outpatient care whose symptoms are reasonably managed and who want support with recovery, stability, relationships, routines, and meaningful life goals.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, talk about what is bringing you to therapy, and identify what you would like support with. We’ll review your current concerns, strengths, supports, and goals, and begin identifying practical areas to focus on together. I also want you to have space to ask questions and decide whether my approach feels like a good fit for you.
