Hi, my name is Debbie Richert, LCMFT, LMAC. I have been working with couples and individuals for 11 years. My counseling style is pretty laid-back. I have been described as supportive, caring, empathetic, and with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.
I have experience helping clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, adjustment issues, marital conflicts, and substance abuse among other mental health issues. I understand how important it is to find a well-matched therapist and recognize how difficult it can be to reach out for help.
I consider each client as a unique individual who deserves respect and understanding. I believe you should have a voice in your treatment, and I will work alongside you to develop the most effective treatment for your situation. I would be honored to work with you to ease your distress and improve your quality of life.

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.
