About Dewanna
Dewanna Lewis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate family concerns, parenting stress, anger, depression, and major life transitions. Dewanna aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Sessions are meant to let people name feelings and figure out practical next steps. Dewanna listens closely and works at the client's pace to build clarity and momentum.
Her approach draws on a mix of methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That allows her to combine gentle encouragement with hands-on tools for shifting thoughts and behavior. Mindfulness and Emotionally-Focused techniques are also part of her work when they fit a client’s needs.
Dewanna commonly helps people who are trying to reduce conflict at home, manage overwhelming anger, or cope with depressive symptoms. She also supports those facing life changes and young adults working on self-worth and independence. Practical strategies and steady support are central to her sessions.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and check-ins on progress. Dewanna invites people to take the next step when they feel ready and to use therapy as a place for steady, compassionate problem solving.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find their own reasons to change. It uses open conversation and gentle questions to increase motivation and commitment, which can be helpful for goals like reducing anger or improving family interactions.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy to help people feel understood. This approach gives space to name emotions and decide next steps at a comfortable pace, useful for depression or adjusting to life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers hands-on tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used to manage mood problems, tackle control issues, and develop practical coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean combining approaches and adjusting over time as needs change.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy weeks. Some people find remote sessions reduce travel time and let them keep momentum between appointments.
