Deanna Mullins, LCSW

Deanna Mullins is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Seeking change can feel hard, and she supports people as they take those first steps toward a more satisfying life.

Her approach combines practical skills and reflective conversation. She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based strategies to clarify values and build committed action. EMDR is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories when that fits a person's needs. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing help people notice patterns and find motivation for change.

Deanna draws on two decades of practice across Idaho and Oregon. That background includes work with grief, addiction, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues common to first responders and veterans. She brings steady guidance and straightforward tasks between sessions to keep progress moving.

Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on small, doable steps. She encourages experimenting with new habits and reviewing what helps. The goal is practical, lasting change rather than quick fixes.
