About Deborah
Deborah Abram is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in New Hampshire and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida. She has 22 years of experience helping adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She also addresses relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, and mood-related concerns including bipolar and panic attacks.
Deborah uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She draws on client-centered work to listen and respond to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help people notice patterns of thought and try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices are part of what she offers for emotion regulation and grounding.
She also brings motivational interviewing when clients want focused change or help moving toward goals. Deborah has experience with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, codependency and communication problems. She supports people dealing with family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and end-of-life and hospice concerns.
Sessions include talking about values and, if wanted, faith or spiritual concerns; she notes work as a Spiritual Director is part of her background. Deborah describes herself as using many tools from her clinical work and creativity coaching to help clients identify practical next steps.
Her work is aimed at adults in Florida and elsewhere who speak English. She asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking and to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say. Online sessions using this approach usually mean the therapist follows your lead, helps you clarify what matters, and responds with practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying thoughts and behaviors you want to change and practicing alternative responses. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, homework, and problem-solving aimed at everyday situations.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In an online setting DBT skills training can provide step-by-step practice in grounding, distress tolerance and communication techniques that apply to family and relationship stress.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Deborah will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. She blends techniques and checks in about what helps and what to change.
The biography indicates she offers live chat, phone and video sessions, with messaging between sessions, and that messaging-only care is not used. If you need to know current session options or formats in detail, confirm them before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel, allowing brief check-ins between appointments, or using phone sessions when a shorter session works better.
