About Deborah
Deborah Abram is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 22 years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and other life changes. She also offers coaching and support around issues such as caregiver stress, aging concerns, and end-of-life matters.
Deborah uses an eclectic approach and draws from several practical methods. She works collaboratively, listening first and then suggesting tools that fit the person's situation. Sessions often include straightforward talk, skill-building exercises, and ways to notice and alter unhelpful patterns.
Her methods include client-centered work that focuses on the person's goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change thinking and behavior patterns, dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness, and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. These tools are used as needed rather than in a fixed sequence.
Deborah also integrates creative coaching and spiritual direction when a client wants to include faith or creative processes in their work. She emphasizes practical steps clients can try between sessions and checks in about what helps and what does not.
Sessions may include live chat, phone, or video, with messaging available between sessions; she does not offer messaging-only therapy. Prospective clients in Florida and elsewhere are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and values and involves listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most. It helps when someone wants a supportive setting to talk through feelings and decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior. Online CBT can include homework, brief exercises, and structured check-ins that help with anger, anxiety, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills target emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Practicing DBT skills in sessions can give someone concrete strategies to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behavior.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Deborah will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That process often begins with an initial conversation to identify what feels most useful and practical.
Session formats are offered as live chat, phone, and video with messaging available between meetings; messaging-only therapy is not provided. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins by phone when needed, and let clients try different ways of working without major travel.
