About Deborah
Deborah Mobley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 40 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, substance misuse, grief, relationship strain, anger, and other life stresses. Deborah uses evidence-based methods and focuses on helping people make healthier choices and cope with trauma-related symptoms.
She emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused approaches in her sessions. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then practice different ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for people working through drug or alcohol problems and other behavior change goals.
Deborah has worked with people after natural disasters and with those managing personal crises and loss. She listens to each person’s story and starts from their current situation to map practical steps forward. Sessions aim to improve daily functioning and reduce symptoms that get in the way of everyday life.
Her background spans many settings over decades, giving her experience with common and complex problems alike. She frames therapy as a deliberate process that involves clear goals and specific techniques, rather than vague promises. People who want focused, practical help with anger, addiction, trauma, or stress often seek her approach.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Deborah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger management, and habits tied to substance use.She also applies Motivational Interviewing to support people making behavioral changes. This method uses conversation to explore ambivalence and strengthen a person’s own reasons for change, which can be helpful for drug and alcohol concerns and shifting coping patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and what feels manageable in daily life. Plans can shift as progress and needs become clearer.
