About Dr. Cara Deininger

Welcome! I take an emotionally focused and relational approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that our emotions and relationships are at the core of who we are. Together, we’ll explore the relational and emotional patterns that shape your life, helping you build deeper understanding, greater resilience, and more fulfilling relationship with yourself and others.

I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), interpersonal and psychodynamic approaches, and evidenced based therapies for trauma.

You can expect a compassionate, nonjudgemental, and flexible approach to therapy that adapts to your specific needs, ensuring that you feel both heard and respected. Whether you're seeking support for personal growth and navigating life transitions, or struggling with trauma, anxiety, self-doubt, or the challenges of balancing it all, I am here to support you every step of the way.

I am licensed in both Iowa and Minnesota, and I offer secure online therapy to clients in either state.
