More about Deborah

  • 29 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I have provided counseling services to individuals, couples and families for twenty-nine years. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I look at an entire system when doing my work. I have done work with Family District Courts doing Co-parenting. I have worked as a Military Family Life Consultant and was on site at Operation Purple Camps for adolescents who had a family member deployed.

My counseling approach is one of respect and directness. I believe most clients have their own answers and need help, at times, to find the direction to obtain their answers. I always appreciate the difficulty in asking for help from a complete stranger and attempt to guide with gentleness and understanding.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
