Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my MSW from Radford University and I have been a Licensed Social Worker in the Commonwealth of Virginia since 2013. I enjoy working with youth and adults of all ages. I am an inspirator, motivator, and educator. My dedication lies in providing therapeutic services, inspiring hope, lifelong learning and educating with passion and purpose.
Creating a welcoming environment for clients is my top priority. In our intake session, clients can expect a safe space to share as much about themselves as they're comfortable with, which helps us establish a strong connection. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, what you hope to achieve, your personal background, including challenges from a holistic perspective, as well as your strengths, weaknesses, and goals—all of which will inform our treatment plan.
As a provider, my core strengths include using empathy to connect deeply with clients, creating a safe and supportive therapeutic space, and tailoring therapy to meet each client's individual needs. I am dedicated to understanding my clients' experiences from their viewpoint and exploring their thoughts and emotions without any judgment.
Deanna Bibby offers therapy covered by Kaiser Permanente - Medicaid and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Virginia.
I completed my EMDR therapist training in September 2020. EMDR is psychotherapy technique designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories and allows for new, more positive associations to develop.
I find it best to utilize a variety of techniques and tools that best suites the client’s needs. I am excited to be a part of your journey and look forward to witnessing your personal growth in mind, body, and spirit.
My goal as a provider is to assist clients in recognizing their capabilities, empowering them to tackle challenges and achieve their goals with resilience.
