I cannot recommend Deborah highly enough. From the very first session, I felt genuinely seen, heard, and understood. She creates an incredibly safe and non-judgmental space, which allowed me to open up about things I hadn’t been able to address for years. Deborah provided me with practical tools that I can apply daily, while also helping me delve deeper into the core of my issues. If you're looking for a therapist who is compassionate, skilled, and deeply dedicated to your well-being, Deborah is the one.

More about Deborah
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a professional counselor licensed in South Carolina with a combined 26 years of experience as a counselor. I provided support for students and families as a school counselor for 22 years and have been in private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor for 4 years. I have worked with clients of all ages experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship and interpersonal issues, parenting challenges, ADHD, and life’s transitions and challenges. I am honored to assist you as you engage in this process of self-discovery and growth that therapy can provide. My approach is to first establish a warm and welcoming space where you feel cared for, accepted, respected and valued. The issues presented during therapy will guide which treatment approach would best assist you in shaping your life the way you want it to be. Part of the process of therapy is helping you discover your strengths as you navigate the issue that brings you to therapy. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the obstacles that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.
