Deidre Campen

Deidre Campen is a Minnesota-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on grief and end-of-life support alongside a range of mental health concerns. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, trauma, and parenting stresses. Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to treat clients with sensitivity and respect.

With ten years of professional experience, Deidre brings both clinical and personal perspective to sessions. She understands ADHD from her own life and from parenting children with ADHD, and she uses that lived insight when talking through everyday routines and parenting strategies.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. She works with people to set clear, manageable goals and to develop coping skills that fit daily life. Sessions emphasize practical steps and straightforward talk rather than labels.

Deidre also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She helps clients address relationship communication, codependency, and control issues through focused conversation and goal-setting.

People come to her for help managing anger, low self-esteem, eating and body image struggles, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. She aims to tailor discussions and plans to each person’s situation, pacing work to match readiness and personal priorities.

Approaches you may encounter in online sessions

Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person as an individual. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify what matters most in their life, which can be useful for grief, compassion fatigue, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new daily habits for anxiety, depression, and bipolar symptom management.

Mindfulness therapy teaches brief practices to notice the present moment without judgment. These skills can reduce stress and help with emotional regulation during difficult transitions or caregiver strain.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick strategies that fit goals, pace, and preferences. That means trying techniques and adjusting the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method from the start.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about online options and how sessions fit into your schedule. A common benefit of online sessions is convenience - they can be easier to fit into a work break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins on busy days. Discuss with the therapist how to shape sessions so they support everyday life without adding extra stress.
