About Debora
Debora Van Romer, LPCC, helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or the aftermath of trauma. She speaks plainly and creates space for people to name what feels hard. Many clients come for help with relationship pain, family conflict, self-esteem, grief, or struggles tied to codependency and attachment wounds.
With 16 years of clinical experience, she draws on several well-known approaches to shape the work. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to address painful relationship patterns.
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Conversations often include identifying patterns learned from family of origin, naming feelings tied to abandonment or control, and building clearer communication skills. Debora encourages small, doable changes that fit daily life.
Her style is warm and direct. She aims to help people feel heard and supported while they test new ways of relating and coping. Expect straightforward feedback, reflective listening, and collaborative goal-setting.
Debora is licensed in Ohio as an LPCC. She meets people where they are and helps them move toward clearer choices and healthier boundaries. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps name early relationship patterns and how they show up now; it can be useful for people feeling stuck in codependent dynamics or abandonment fears. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, giving space for feelings and choices without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing practical alternatives.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing a fixed method.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use these advantages to focus on skills practice, pattern recognition, and communication work that translate into everyday life.
