About Debora

Debora Van Romer is a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio who focuses on family and parenting concerns among a broad range of issues. She brings 16 years of experience and a straightforward, supportive style that makes it easier to take the first step. Debora creates space for honest conversation and practical problem solving.

Sessions aim to help parents and adults reduce stress, manage anxiety, and navigate relationship and family challenges.

Background and approach

She uses clear, collaborative methods rather than jargon. That means helping people name what is happening, test small changes, and build better patterns at home. Common areas she addresses include grief, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, intimacy-related problems, and compassion fatigue.

She also works on family of origin issues, communication problems, and caregiving stress. Debora draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds affect current relationships. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on each person's needs.

Cognitive behavioral tools are used when changing thoughts and behaviors can ease symptoms quickly. In practical terms, Debora supports people dealing with divorce and separation, domestic violence aftermath, codependency, and commitment concerns. She helps with parenting questions and older adult caregiving stress as well.

Her approach balances listening with concrete steps clients can try between sessions. Debora holds the LPCC credential, Ohio LPCC E.0701076, and conducts work in English. She acknowledges how hard it is to begin therapy and focuses on steady encouragement throughout the process.

Online approaches that fit family and parenting needs

Debora uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current family patterns. This helps identify why certain reactions show up with partners or children and where repair or new habits can begin.

She also uses client-centered therapy which focuses on listening, validation, and following the pace that feels right for each person. That creates space for parents and caregivers to talk honestly about fears and hopes without pressure.

Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when changing specific thoughts or behaviors can relieve anxiety or depression. These tools give clear, practical strategies that people can use at home between sessions to manage stress and improve routines.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which approaches to prioritize and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let you meet face-to-face from home, while phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide other ways to check in when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions and try techniques in real life between meetings.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
