About Debora
Debora Van Romer is an Ohio LPCC with 16 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Debora uses several therapy styles to suit different needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect so people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for changing thoughts and habits that feed anxiety and depression.
In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and steady pacing. People can expect to talk through what is happening now, name patterns that repeat, and try small adjustments between sessions. She pays attention to family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and commitment and control struggles when these come up.
Debora also works with concerns such as abandonment, caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and forgiveness. She includes emotionally-focused and existential approaches when a deeper look at meaning or attachment is helpful.
Her practice is based in Ohio and she offers services in English. The first steps are completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session through the online options button. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Debora commonly uses attachment-based work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns and reactions, which can help with intimacy-related struggles and relationship worries. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to reduce anxiety and depression.She also draws on client-centered principles, which means listening closely and reflecting what comes up so clients feel understood. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single approach.
The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. A clear plan for scheduling and the type of session helps fit counseling into everyday life.
