Ms Deborah has been very helpful in my journey of healing. She’s brought up quite a few questions and homework for self-reflection. She’s a great listener and because of that, she is able to help me understand what is happening. I am a Christ believer and because she is too, she is able to refer back not only her experience and training, but most importantly for me, to the Bible for Christ-centered solutions which is amazing. It gives me a peace of mind having a therapist like her. I highly recommend her. However, in order for your journey to progress, you got to commit and do the work too.

Hello! My name is Deborah Anderson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas. I am also a Licensed Independent Social worker (LISW) in Ohio, my home state. I have worked with people challenged by substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, grief and loss. My approach is solution focused, I want to work collaboratively with clients to identify ways to work through the things that have been barriers to their having a fulfilling life. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral therapy to help clients restructure the life beliefs that have hindered them from reaching their identified potential.
When working with clients I want to meet them where they are and work with them to determine not only where they want to go in life, but also by what mode they would like to get there. I feel that I'm a visitor on a journey my client has invited me to experience with them.

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 the best. I would highly recommend her. She has a way of listening and using her own life story to give you gems to guide you in the right direction. After speaking with her, I always feel like I can go on a little longer. The feeling of leaving church on Sunday, life just looks a little brighter. 10/10.
Great intuitive listener. Thoroughly enjoyed the insightful feedback in addition to talking through options that may apply. I definitely felt heard and understood.

Very helpful
She provided me a different point of view and it was brilliant
Deborah was loving, open, honest, kind, transparent and raw. I only had 1 session with her because she recommended I find a therapist with more targeted expertise. I admire that in her as she was genuinely concerned for me getting the right help.
I felt from the very first time I met Debrah that I was going to feel valued and supported! She was so welcoming and inviting for me to share any and everything I needed with her so she could and can continue to support me and my family! I truly appreciate her!
It's been really nice having Deborah to give encouragement and insight. She's very supportive and kind and I feel like she listens to what I'm saying and cares.
