Dr. Deonka Winn

Dr. Deonka Winn

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

I work with adults and children who feel overwhelmed by painful experiences, difficult memories, or life circumstances that have left them feeling stuck. If you've been carrying grief, trauma, anger, or emotions that feel hard to manage on your own, you don't have to sort through it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, better understand what you're going through, and begin moving toward healing with support, honesty, and hope.

Therapist

I work well with young adults and adults, particularly women, navigating complex emotions and experiences. Together we'll explore how your thoughts, emotions, body, environment, relationships, and past shape how you feel and act today. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients build insight and practical tools. We might shift unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping strategies, learn to regulate emotions, and explore your inner world to better understand your relationship to the outside world. I bring in mindfulness techniques to help you connect with yourself as you work through challenges, heal, and grow.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Orleans

Searching for therapists in New Orleans starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life changes. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to work on. It can also help to review their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

New Orleans has therapists across neighborhoods such as the French Quarter, Marigny, Bywater, Uptown, and Mid-City, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. If office location matters, consider commute time, parking, and how the appointment fits into your week. If schedule flexibility matters more, virtual therapy may give you more options. As you compare New Orleans therapists, review availability, whether they are accepting new clients, and any free consultation options. A therapist’s bio can also show how they communicate, structure sessions, and describe their work.

Therapy in New Orleans can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details, and lets you book directly when you find a match. Browse therapists in New Orleans, review profiles, and choose someone who fits your needs, schedule, and insurance plan.
