Dr. Deirdre Adduci

Dr. Deirdre Adduci

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Hi, my name is Dr. Deirdre Adduci and I believe that when two people work together, we can achieve great things and that together we can become a team that is able to assess and achieve your goals. Sometimes life can be difficult and it can be challenging, but I do believe that teamwork helps to improve our outlook and also to strategize ways to move forward. At times, people will tell me that they feel stuck, but often times this is merely because working alone we may not be able to see all of our options and possible solutions. I do believe that there are solutions that we haven’t even yet. We can do that together. I received my undergraduate education at The Ohio State University, where I studied criminology, my masters degree and counseling from Youngstown State University and my PhD from The University of Akron. I have my independent license in Counseling(LPCC-S),Marriage and Family Counseling (LIMFT), my independent license, my independent license in Chemical Dependency Counseling (LICDC-S) and a license and social work (LSW). I always tell my clients that I could not do what I do if I did not so passionately believe that counseling truly works. Your best thinking got you here looking at our profiles and I am really proud that you have step. I hope to work with you and become part of your team.

I approach to counseling and therapy is that we're all striving to connect with our whole or "essence" self that resides within us. I see myself as a facilitator of that change. I am a holistic and trauma-informed therapist with some twenty-five years' experience.

Jessica Frederic

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


I'm not your blank-slate, nod-and-smile therapist. I’m here to help you dig deep, reconnect with your body, and create lasting change. My approach blends mind-body tools, somatic work, and nervous system education with straight-up truth and compassion. Clients often say I give them permission—to feel deeply, question old narratives, and explore what’s been off-limits in their healing. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, motherhood, trauma, or relationships, I create a space where you feel both held and challenged. Therapy with me is collaborative, embodied, and real.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Yoga Teacher with advanced training in somatic trauma work. I specialize in women’s issues, anxiety, trauma, and postpartum mental health, and I also supervise emerging therapists. My fully online practice serves clients across Florida, Utah, and Ohio.
