DeeAnna is also the co-founder of the Online Therapy Institute and the Online Coach Institute. The institutes offer online training, online peer supervision, resources and consultancy about mental health, coaching and technology. She is Managing Co-Editor of TILT Magazine ~ Therapeutic Innovations in Light of Technology.

DeeAnna has practiced online counseling since 1999. As an e-patient herself, researching her own symptoms that had gone undiagnosed, she discovered firsthand  the power of the internet for advocacy, empowerment and support. As a therapist, she opted early on to practice online, signing on with the early e-clinics during the “dot.bomb” years and was involved in online peer supervision long before most therapists even utilized email on a regular basis. She began presenting at state and national conferences on the topic of online counseling. In 2005 she served as President of the International Society for Mental Health Online, while simultaneously serving as the ethics chair of the Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia and the New York Mental Health Counselors Association.

DeeAnna now dedicates most of her professional time training other helping professionals about the provision of online counseling.
