About Deborah
Deborah Balliett-Veley is an LCSW and LISW with 12 years of clinical experience, licensed in Ohio. She works with adults on problems like depression, anxiety, grief, stress, sleep trouble, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also addresses career concerns and compassion fatigue.
Her style blends practical coping strategies with attentive listening. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between appointments. She helps people name what fuels their anger and practice different responses that reduce snapping or simmering resentment.
Deborah has experience supporting people living with chronic illness, caregivers, and those facing aging or bereavement. She also works with people dealing with codependency, control issues, guilt, and isolation. That background informs how she approaches anger that grows out of stress or loss.
She brings faith-informed perspectives when clients want that included, while still keeping the work grounded in real-life problem solving. Expect conversations about patterns, short practical tools, and goal-focused work on day-to-day functioning.
Her approach helps people who are juggling work, caregiving, or health problems and notice anger as a response. The focus is on skills to manage strong feelings, rebuilding routines like sleep, and planning for calmer reactions in triggering situations.
How sessions work
Approaches for managing strong emotions online
Deborah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete strategies for recognizing triggers, slowing reactions, and rebuilding routines like sleep and stress management. This helps when anger rises from exhaustion, workplace stress, or chronic health worries.A second strand is problem-focused counseling that breaks larger life issues into manageable steps. That approach suits people facing caregiving strain, grief, or midlife transitions where practical planning and small behavioral changes reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily responsibilities. The plan can shift as needs change, with the client guiding what feels most useful.
Confirm which remote session options she currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or medical visits, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use therapy more consistently.
