About Deon

Deon Whiteside is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with eight years of clinical experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. He also supports clients dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction issues, ADHD, and challenges like isolation or low self-worth.

Deon uses straightforward, conversational sessions. He pairs talk-based coaching with practical tools so clients can set goals and follow through. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and make clearer choices in work or relationships.

Background and approach

Client-Centered Therapy is another pillar of his practice. That approach keeps the conversation focused on the client's priorities, and lets the clinician act as a collaborative guide rather than an instructor. Sessions emphasize clear goals, accountability, and real-world steps to change.

People who like direct feedback and a cooperative style tend to fit well with his approach. He listens for patterns, offers concrete strategies, and checks in on progress each week. Deon aims to make the process doable, not overwhelming.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Deon frames that move as a practical choice. He works with each person to identify small, achievable changes. Over time those steps add up to clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.

Online support

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Deon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in his online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced through exercises and short assignments between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, conversational relationship where the client sets priorities and the therapist offers guidance and accountability.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deon will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adapting exercises, pacing, and the balance between coaching and skills practice based on what helps the client make steady progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let clients see nonverbal cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
