Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan, LPC

Dr. Deandriea Bass-Carrigan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, career transitions and a range of life changes. She brings more than 10 years of experience providing career counseling and over five years working with clients facing anxiety, burnout, stress, depression and related concerns, combining practical guidance with client-driven goals.

She often frames emotions and energy as something that rises and falls, using the familiar idea that "you can't pour from an empty cup" to emphasize the importance of rebuilding personal resources. Her work invites clients to play an active role from the outset, shaping therapeutic concepts and techniques to match each person’s strengths and circumstances. She uses methods including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing to address issues such as trauma, grief, parenting, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Alongside clinical therapy, she incorporates coaching elements to support career development and long-term resilience. Her approach focuses on practical steps and collaborative planning so clients can regain balance, strengthen coping skills and continue building for themselves and others.
