About Aleta
Aleta (Deonne) O'Quinn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, parenting concerns, relationship strain, trauma and related issues. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clearer communication rather than long explanations.
Her work focuses on helping people handle life changes and painful emotions. She supports people coping with loss, addiction concerns, anger, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses family-related topics such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and attachment concerns.
Aleta uses approaches that include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), and mindfulness therapy. In practice she blends these methods to match what someone needs that day. Expect straightforward tools for mood management and practical steps for improving communication.
She helps people build routines for managing stress and improve how they respond to triggers. Work may include skill practice, thought re-framing, emotion regulation exercises, and focused conversations about relationships and parenting roles. Sessions aim to leave people with specific next steps they can try between meetings.
People who come in looking for concrete strategies for parenting strain, grief, or recurring anxiety will find an emphasis on simple, usable changes. The tone in sessions is adult-focused and goal-oriented, with space to name what feels hard and then work on usable responses.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Aleta commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings, helping them clarify values and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought patterns and teaches concrete techniques for changing behavior and mood, which can be practiced between sessions.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed. DBT offers step-by-step coping tools that are useful for managing intense feelings and improving day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That discussion can shift over time as needs change, and techniques are adjusted to match where someone is in their life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break, or exercises can be assigned to practice between meetings. The focus is on using tools that integrate with daily life and support clearer communication and better stress management.
