About Devona

Devona (Dee) Head is a licensed mental health counselor who brings three decades of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. Dee aims to make the first steps toward change feel less overwhelming and more manageable for someone reaching out for help.

She creates a welcoming space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are intended to be practical and grounded. Dee works with each person to set clear goals and build small, steady steps toward them.

Over her career she has supported people recovering from abusive narcissistic relationships and those coping with loss or long-term stressors. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and family of origin concerns. First responder issues and challenges tied to aging are among the areas she has worked with.

Her approach draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are used to help individuals better manage symptoms, develop healthier thinking patterns, and practice calming skills.

Dee practices in Indiana and carries the LMHC credential, which is Licensed Mental Health Counselor. If someone is new to therapy she guides them through what to expect and how to begin the work at a pace that feels right.

How trauma-informed and practical methods translate online

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process and reduce the impact of traumatic events. It aims to help someone feel less overwhelmed by traumatic memories and regain a sense of control in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s pace, reflects what is shared, and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and responses.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Dee will discuss goals, preferences, and concerns together and adjust methods as the work progresses. That way sessions match what the person wants to accomplish and how they prefer to work.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can still make it easier to fit care into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during breaks, or let someone join from a quieter place without needing to commute. These practical benefits often help people stay consistent with their work in therapy.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
