More about Deborah
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience working as a therapist. I live in Miami, Florida and I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from Florida International University. I have helped clients cope with many problems including relationship issues, parenting concerns, divorce, anxiety, career difficulties, stress and so many more. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults, families and couples.
I believe that every client has different needs, so while I am always empathetic and compassionate, I personalize my approach for each individual client. Some of the methods I utilize are talk therapy, humanistic approach, cognitive behavioral therapy and many more. Most importantly, I provide an atmosphere where the client feels safe to share their feelings and challenges.
It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and I am happy to be here to help you on this journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Deborah Katsikas is a great councellor and I can always count on her.
Deborah is a great counselor!
Just wonderful. Incredibly insightful. Couldn’t ask for more.
I can highly recommend Deborah as your counselor. She has an amazing ability to see you and to find the core of your problem. She is very compassionate and deeply committed to helping you to find your way. She is the Best counselor I have ever talked to and I feel very fortunate to have her as my counselor.
Deborah has been a great help and being new to counseling of any kind, she is very supportive and worked in a way I felt comfortable with.
Deborah is great. I cannot recommend her more highly. She makes you feel at ease and like you can open up and be yourself. I have been able to connect with her and it finally feels like someone understands me.
Really appreciated Deborah's approach to my issues. I was able to confide in her easily plus she listens. I wasn't expecting online counseling to feel was so professional. I didn't feel as if I needed to sit face-to-face and talk to someone to understand why I wanted to have counseling sessions.
Deborah's best quality is how personable she is. She doesn't make you feel psychoanalyzed, but instead makes you feel like you're talking to someone close who is there to listen and provide experienced and insightful help and strategies to get through what it is you're working on. Super happy to be working with Deborah!
Very confident in her skills. Listens, has experience, overall great counselor.
Unlike others, I felt an immediate connection with Deb. She gets me and seems to understand my unique situation. I feel her combination of training and real life experience makes all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her to others . If you need compassion, caring, help, advice, and wise counsel give her a try. You’ll be glad you did.
I really like talking to Deborah. She offers different ways of looking at things, and helps me to remember the positives rather than the negatives.
I've only been on this site for a short amount of time but Deborah has been a massive help for my mental health and getting me through my issues. Making me feel incredibly comfortable without any judgment, I feel I can freely talk without thinking I'm insane
she's been awsome and really helpful. I highly appreciate her time and effort that she has giving me.
Debby has been awesome to work with and really helped me get to the true core of my problems. She led me in a positive direction going forward.
