LaDeana Artis, LCSW

LaDeana Artis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, and related struggles. LaDeana lists blended family issues among her focus areas and often supports people navigating changes in family structure.

Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She draws on client-centered therapy and attachment-based ideas to understand relationships and patterns. Sessions typically look like talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small, practical changes between meetings.

LaDeana also uses cognitive behavioral and acceptance and commitment tools to help with mood, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. When emotions run high she may use techniques based on dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These methods are used together to address specific goals clients bring to therapy.

She has worked across mental health settings and has experience with trauma, abandonment, personality-related concerns, perinatal mental health, and emotional dysregulation. That background informs how she assesses risk, safety, and supports clients who report complex histories.

People who reach out can expect a pragmatic, down-to-earth approach. The therapist helps clients notice patterns, test small changes, and build practical skills for day-to-day life. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.
