Deborah has been an excellent therapist. I have a complicated set of issues and Deborah has been really good at modifying her approach in such a way that it makes me feel seen and understood, a lack of which is at the core of my issues to begin with. So I really appreciate how conscientious and deliberate she has been in working with me.

More about Deborah
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon and California with 14 years of experience in mental health. I have been doing counseling work for over 10 years and have worked with clients of all ages and with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar disorder, personality disorders, relationship issues, codependency, poor emotion regulations, OCD, ADHD, pain management issues, etc.
My therapy style is honest and upfront, I believe that if you truly want to address your life issues then you need to own them and work on them. I believe in treating everyone with respect and kindness and meeting them where they are at in their life. I try not to judge anyone and work with them to overcome whatever barriers have kept them from wellness. I work to tailor my treatment plans to meet the individual needs and uphold their strengths.
I believe it takes strength and courage to reach out to help and that help should be met with a kind hand and understanding.

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.
