Hi, I’m Deedra Ivie. My goal is to help you find the strength that is already inside of you and bring that to light. Each client is different and has needs unique to their upbringing and life circumstances. I enjoy learning about your past circumstances, ways of thinking and current situation to find the best way to move forward to achieve progress and find peace.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with most clients suffering from depression and anxiety. I work with you to identify the exact feelings you are experiencing. Then we work on identifying the thought behind the feeling. After we find the exact issue prompting your emotions, we work to change the thoughts. We discuss coping skills to help you find relief in the midst of your intense emotions.
If you are experiencing more extreme emotions I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy. For DBT, I walk you through the different stages of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Distress tolerance and mindfulness are both a good place to start to help you find some relief from your symptoms. Then you can move forward to work on recognizing and regulating your emotions. Interpersonal effectiveness can also be very helpful. This helps you learn how to relate to others in your life in a healthier way.
I graduated from Colorado Christian University with a Masters in Counseling. I have worked in Community Mental Health Centers, Treatment Facilities and I have a private practice. I am married with 4 children, whom I homeschool. Most of my time is spent with my family outdoors. We also have pigs, goats, dogs, chickens, bees and I garden.
I look forward to finding out more about you and how I can help.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Deedra has been a huge help in my life. She has a good balance of giving me space to talk and process, while also providing helpful feedback and insights. She really seems invested and cares about the things I am going through.
Since I started with this service it takes me some time to feel comfortable with people and have to build trust. But Deedra made it very easy to communicate, is always helpful and goes above and beyond to accommodate my needs and with efficiency. I felt I could trust day one. She’s real, don’t sugar coat or create fluff. Friendly but professional. I can tell she cares about helping people. And will definitely get some breakthrough. In closing she helps me be accountable to my goals and intentions because she wants my efforts to be productive and freeing so I can get the changes I am seeking. Thank you Deedra.
She’s great. Has great ideas is super helpful in every way
Responsive punctual and helpful
I love Deedra. She listens to me and give me a new perspective. She also will let me know if I am being to critical of myself, the situation, or others. She balances me out very well.
Deedra is a great listener who is willing to give advice when my own impulses are questionable. She doesn't make decisions for me, but questions me when I make or am about to make questionable decisions.
I really like Deedra, she helps me to see things that I did not even consider before, it is enlightening and I can't thank her enough!
She's very personable, relatable, kind, and patient.
Deedra is so attentive and really helps me work through what’s bothering me! She’s great!
I appreciate Deedra being flexible with my busy schedule. She continues to reach out to me and check on me for follow up, which has helped when it’s hard for me to request help for myself.
Deedra provides wonderful support and suggestions to my concerns. She is easy to talk to and a great listener.
Deedra is great. It's the subscription platform that I do not like.
Deedra has been a great listener. I have never had a therapist before, but I am comfortable talking to her about anything.
I’ve learned so much and have grown as a person after counseling with Deedra!
It’s amazing talking to someone online who is there to listen to how I am feeling. She made sure I had friends and family to be my support when talking about hard subjects. I also feel open to telling her stuff I would never tell anyone else because of judgment she makes me feel comfortable.
She is an amazing counselor and has helped me in many ways.
Deedra is very kind and caring. I can tell she is in this profession for the right reasons and has a genuine regard for others. She has helped me process a lot of trauma and anxiety and helped me look at things in different ways. I enjoy working with her and seeing my mental health improve day by day.
