I feel so fortunate to have Deborah as my therapist. She is obviously highly experienced, very knowledgeable and wise. She is willing to help and offers common sense approaches to challenges. I always look forward to my sessions with her.

Deborah is a wonderful, patient listener. Two years ago, she coached me through a stressful time in life (impending parenthood, changes at work). My wife remarked out loud at the time that I was doing a better job with communication in our relationship as well. Being able to check in regularly with Deborah makes me function at life in a more positive way.

More about Deborah

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 20-years-experience. I have worked with clients in a variety of settings from community mental health, to private practice, to residential substance abuse. My clients have presented with many different concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, panic disorders and addiction to name a few.

My firm belief is that despite the life experiences a person may have had, they are never broken. My job is to point them toward that healthy part of themselves and help it to strengthen. My goal is to help people rediscover their innate peace, happiness, and well-being.

My counseling style brings together cognitive, holistic, and integrative. I don’t have a cookie-cutter approach to counseling, because every individual is different, and so the counseling approach needs to be flexible to develop the best fit for that person. I see the counseling relationship as a partnership where we work together creating a plan of treatment that will help you work toward goals that are important to you.

Counseling can be a big step into a future that is more fulfilling. Let’s make your life the best it can be.

I look forward to hearing from 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.

Debbie has made me see life in a completely different way. I am learning to get quiet and listen to my own inner wisdom. I have become more centered and focused since working with her. She has an amazing ability to listen and guide. I never felt like counseling helped me until working with her. She had also made me realize the power of my thoughts. I am so happy I signed up at BetterHelp, they not only paired me with the perfect counselor, they have helped me change my life! Thank you.

Deborah has become a light in challenging times of managing so much as a mom, boss-lady, and entrepreneur. We are aligned in our life philosophies, which makes it such a delight.

I've just had my final session with Deborah and I will miss working with her very much. In three short months I feel like she has helped me transform into an entirely new, healthy person. I went in with anger issues bundled up with low self esteem and inability to communicate effectively. Deborah helped me learn how to shift my thoughts and control my emotions. My relationships with everyone in my life are much stronger as a result. Thank you Deborah for being part of my journey, I'm so grateful to have gotten to work with you!

Deborah was amazing, she’s helped me find ways to deal with my anger issues and self esteem issues that I’ve carried for most of my life in such a short amount of time. I would recommend her to anyone who struggles with these same issues. I knew I wasn’t a lost cause but I never thought Deborah would help me learn to deal with them and solve these problems so quickly. She’s definitely amazing at her job. 10/10 recommend.

We did not have much time to spend on counseling, as I only just recently signed up. However, she was great in the time we had. I did not cancel my membership as anything against Deborah or Betterhelp whatsoever. I had nothing but positive experiences on Betterhelp in the brief time I was there.

Deborah is extremely empathetic and very insightful. She has helped me break down my overwhelming thoughts and come to realize my own power. I felt completely torn, broken, and overwhelmed when I first began sessions with her. So far I am seeing the light and taking the control back over my thoughts as well as putting in the work to rewire my thought patterns. She has given me the perspective and tools to move into the life I've always wanted. I highly recommend working with her.
