I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), approved by the Mississippi Board of Counselors, a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC), approved by the Utah Department of Commerce, certified in DBT, and a certified parent trainer.

Hi, I’m Raina Deer. I’m a therapist who helps individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. I specialize in working with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a welcoming space where you feel supported and can grow at your own pace.
Life can feel exhausting when you're carrying more than anyone else realizes. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, pressure to stay strong, relationship challenges, or questions about your identity while feeling like there's no space to simply be yourself. You don't have to face those experiences alone. Therapy can be a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I provide virtual therapy for adolescents, adults, seniors, children, and families throughout Mississippi, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, men's issues, and cultural and ethnic concerns while also supporting ADHD, trauma, OCD, anger management, relationship challenges, family stress, and life transitions that often become part of the same journey. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can reconnect with your strengths, gain clarity, and move toward the life you want to build.
At Empower Psychotherapy, I work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical support.

My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.
I have worked in the field of mental health for almost 30 years. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of MS and I hold multiple certifications within my area of practice, including tobacco education and cessation treatment, youth mental health first aid training, cognitive-behavioral therapy, advanced cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy specifically designed for foster care youth, and certified integrated mental health professional. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Guidance and Counseling from Jackson State University. I have worked in the areas of community mental health, vocational rehab, hospital settings, foster care counseling, and the private counseling sector. I have also participated in several research studies pertaining to tobacco cessation and education. I am a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. as well as a veteran of the United States Army.
My motto is rooted in Philippians 3:13-14, "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those which are before, I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hattiesburg
Searching for therapists in Hattiesburg starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist has experience with your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to discuss. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.
In a smaller city like Hattiesburg, local appointment options may vary by schedule, location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Mississippi. You may want to compare in-person and virtual availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Hattiesburg can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and view estimated costs before booking. You can browse therapists in Hattiesburg, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
