It’s nice to talk to her. Sometimes we talk about specific issues and sometimes we just talk. It has helped a lot more than just talking to my family or not talking at all.

More about Deborah

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I base my practice on the theory of Wellness-Body in Balance. Body in Balance includes five domains: eating, sleeping, exercise, relaxation and fun. Learning to improve these domains can help an individual handle life's stressors better. For those suffering from anxiety, depression or PTSD, it can add tools for your coping skills toolbox. For those with a current situation that needs attention, I can use person-centered strengths-based solution-focused therapy. As I have been a licensed therapist for almost a decade, I also have training and experience with Psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, and Trauma Focused Therapy. I can also help with life changes as I have considerable life experience not only as a therapist but also as a woman, mother, and grandmother. I am look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Horrible therapist didn't even meet me for the first time told me I wasn't committed to my therapy and she didn't want to waste her time on me

My first session was very helpful eventhough it brought up some of the things that I have a hard time sharing. Deborah made me feel comfortable and connected.

I highly recommend Deborah. She listens well and let's me explore my own solutions, adding her expertise as needed. But she neither preaches nor lectures, both of which I have experienced with other therapists (not through BetterHelp.) I've been seeing her for eight months, and some real changes are happening regarding adopting a healthier lifestyle. Thank you, Deborah!

I love Deborah. She’s so good at listening and makes me feel confident about processing things at my own speed. Not only do I feel like we can get deep and unpack things but I can also just comfortably chat if I’m not feeling it that day. She’s helped me work through some of my shadow work and always reminds me of my self-worth and value. I’m so so grateful to have someone like her to talk to on a weekly basis. It feels so natural!
