About Debora

Debora Van Romer is an Ohio LPCC with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, grief, and related concerns. She also notes focus areas such as attachment and caregiver stress. Sessions are presented in a straightforward, practical way to help people manage upsetting feelings and repeated patterns.

Debora tends to use therapy approaches that attend to how people connect and how thoughts shape behavior. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements help when emotions feel overwhelming or confusing.

In sessions she keeps conversation plain and goal-oriented. She invites people to talk about what matters and then works with them to try small experiments and new ways of responding. The practical work might include noticing thought patterns, learning new interaction habits, or practicing emotion regulation skills between sessions.

Her experience includes work with survivors of trauma, those dealing with family separation, and people struggling with anger that affects close relationships. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, and issues tied to family of origin.

People are asked to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do

Debora commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past and current relationships shape reactions and patterns. This approach can help when anger or resentment repeats in close relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify the thoughts that feed intense emotions and to practice alternative responses that change behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Debora will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a single method from the start.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the original biography does not list specific online formats. Ask which session types are offered when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can attend during a work break or between commitments.
