She is a great therapist and has a lot of knowledge. It has been a decade since I have been looking for a therapist who could handle my concerns but couldn't find one until I decided to try Betterhelp and got matched with Deborah. I can definitely see a lot of improvements in myself. I would highly recommend her. She is excellent!

More about Deborah

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin with more than 14 years of experience. I have worked with clients of all ages with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, marriage and family issues, infidelity, addictions, self-esteem, bipolar, grief and loss, personality disorder, OCD, and ADHD. I have also counseled many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My therapeutic approach can include cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive therapy and dialectical-behavior therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and goals.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with 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.
