About Debora
Debora Van Romer is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, and anger. Her approach is straightforward and focused on making the next step feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard feelings and confusing moments. Sessions tend to center on practical steps and clearer thinking so clients can try small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Debora listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and works with clients to shift them. Her background includes long-term work with trauma and abuse survivors, people coping with divorce and separation, and those dealing with family-of-origin issues. She also supports people managing caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, and aging-related concerns.
Those themes often inform how she plans sessions and sets goals with clients. Debora draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts. Emotion-focused methods are used when strengthening emotional bonds or processing hurt is the priority.
She adapts tools to each person’s needs rather than following a single script. Practical matters such as scheduling and session format are handled up front so clients know what to expect. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling to fit the client’s calendar.
Debora emphasizes steady, realistic progress and supports people as they practice new ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and where people learned to trust or pull away. Online sessions can use these ideas to spot repeating habits that cause conflict and to practice different ways of connecting with loved ones.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. This approach fits well online because clients and therapist can set homework, check results between sessions, and adjust the plan over video or text.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on what is working. That way treatment stays connected to the client's priorities and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Shorter check-ins by text or live chat help maintain momentum between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
