About LaDeana
LaDeana Artis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with thirteen years of experience as a practicing therapist in New Jersey. She centers her work on real-world struggles like stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addictions, and ADHD. LaDeana uses clear, direct conversation to help people name problems and set practical goals.
She keeps sessions grounded and goal-focused so progress feels manageable. LaDeana combines person-centered care with proven techniques to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide the work. This means she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and build consistent habits. Her practice attends to attachment and relationship issues, abandonment wounds, and communication problems.
She also addresses parenting stress, caregiver strain, body image, eating concerns, and substance use. People who are coping with grief, major life changes, or compassion fatigue often find a practical focus in her sessions. LaDeana favors plain language and steady pacing in sessions.
She asks specific questions, offers behavioral tools, and practices skills together so new routines stick. She also helps people plan small steps when emotions feel overwhelming. Clients work by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. LaDeana practices in New Jersey and conducts therapy in English.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where motivation and direction feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match the client’s needs. That collaborative process means techniques can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can support brief check-ins, homework planning, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work moving forward without needing travel.
