Background and approach
Her clinical credential is LPCC, registered in Ohio. Her work is client-centered and collaborative. Sessions often include problem-solving, identifying values, and building skills to manage emotions and behaviors.
Deborah draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance strategies to reduce struggle with painful feelings. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationships and patterns that began earlier in life. Dialectical behavior approaches support skills for regulating emotions and improving communication.
Deborah also uses motivational interviewing where people want help with change such as recovery from addiction or improving health habits. She has worked with youth, individuals, and groups across the lifespan and has experience connected to military populations and disaster response. Deborah aims to help people find clear, achievable steps toward better daily functioning and more meaningful routines.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Deborah uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult feelings while taking committed action toward goals. ACT can help with worry, grief, chronic health issues, and avoiding things that matter.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest strategies that fit. The plan can be adjusted over time so techniques match evolving needs and progress is tracked collaboratively.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video sessions allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity when travel or other obligations arise.
