About Debora
Debora Van Romer is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain, and family-related concerns. She also works with clients facing intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue.
Debora uses practical conversation and reflective listening to learn how family patterns affect current life. She talks through how roles, expectations, and attachment habits from childhood can shape relationships now. Sessions are straightforward and focus on what feels most pressing to the client in daily life.
Her approach combines elements of attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she pays attention to emotional bonds from the past, listens closely to a person's experience, and helps identify changing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.
Debora also draws on emotionally-focused and existential ideas when clients want to look at closeness, meaning, and commitment. She helps people name painful patterns linked to family of origin issues and practice different ways of relating. The work tends to be conversational with clear goals and homework when useful.
People who reach out can expect a direct, steady style. She encourages honest discussion about what feels difficult and tries small experiments between sessions. To begin, clients follow the site's intake steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on emotional bonds formed early in life and looks at how those patterns show up in current relationships. In online sessions this can mean talking through memories, noticing feeling states in relationship stories, and trying new ways of responding to close others.Client-centered therapy centers the client's own experience and perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters to the client, which helps people clarify their priorities and make decisions about relationships or family roles.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT can include structured discussion, practice exercises, and simple homework between meetings to change patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels effective, and then collaborate to try methods that suit the client's needs. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses to keep it useful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to follow through with regular appointments during work or caregiving schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and planning to work well in remote sessions.
