More about Deborah
- 33 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am an independent licensed social worker.
I have been in practice for several years, taking some time off to raise a family.
I work with individuals, families and couples.
Depending on the specific situation I will use different techniques.
I am skilled in supportive therapy, a family systems model and a 12 step model. I have worked with and continue to work with clients who have a wide range of issues and my areas of expertise are working with chronic depression and anxiety, substance abuse and fertility issues.
I have become quite interested in the affected families of aging individuals and those those with health issues. Nevertheless, I still very much enjoy working with the families of young children and utilizing behavioral modalities to help them cope with raising their children.
I am skilled at working with clients of all sexual orientations,identifications and lifetyles
I generally meet with clients weekly or biweekly depending on the stage of therapy
I begin by collecting a brief history of the problems and any other relevant information as it is very important to know why is one seeking help in this trying time.
I attempt to form an alliance with whoever is in the room to create a space that will make everyone feel comfortable and able to share.
Goal setting is important as well and that is addressed and assessed periodically.
I look forward to meeting with you to help you in your journey of feeling better and living a happier 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.

Deborah is professional, insightful, wise and very helpful!
Mrs Deborah has been amazing for me! I truly don’t even feel like I’m having a “therapy” session. She’s been so great at making me feel comfortable and giving me the space to be open but also does not force any conversations. Her professional option and beliefs align with my thought process very well. She’s truly been a huge impact on my mental health and helping me be more aware of my road blocks and how to address them in a healthy way. Living in the grey
