About Deedra
Deedra Ivie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people discover strengths they already have and use them to move forward. She draws on ten years of counseling experience and listens to each person's past and present to shape practical next steps. Deedra aims for clear, manageable progress so clients can find more peace in daily life.
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on how thoughts influence feelings and actions. In sessions she helps clients name exact emotions, track the thoughts behind them, and try new thinking patterns to reduce distress. She also teaches coping skills that can bring relief during intense moments.
When emotions feel extreme, Deedra uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. She guides people through mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills help slow reactivity and improve how someone relates to others.
Deedra completed a Master of Arts in Counseling at Colorado Christian University and has worked in community mental health, treatment facilities, and independent practice. She brings practical experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and family problems, grief, and self-esteem challenges.
Outside of work she is married and homeschools four children while spending much of her time outdoors with animals and gardening. She welcomes the chance to learn about each person's history, current struggles, and goals so they can choose a clear path forward.
