About Deborah
Deborah Brehm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She brings 21 years of counseling experience to sessions and focuses on practical help for stress and anxiety. Parents and adults often seek her out for help with relationships, parenting strain, and the aftermath of trauma.
Deborah favors clear, person-centered work that starts with what matters to the individual. She listens for how relationships and life roles shape everyday struggles.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify patterns, name emotions, and try new ways of responding that feel manageable. Her approach draws on attachment ideas and emotionally focused methods to address intimacy and relationship distress. She also uses client-centered and existential perspectives to help people find meaning when life changes or losses feel overwhelming.
The variety lets her match ways of working to each person’s goals. Deborah has long experience helping with parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, and blended family dynamics. She also supports people coping with grief, separation, domestic violence, and the effects of trauma.
She speaks English and accepts international clients through online formats. In sessions she prefers straightforward conversations and practical steps. People can expect a calm, steady presence and collaborative planning.
The first meetings focus on what the client most wants to change and a simple plan to move forward.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and present relationships influence feelings and behavior. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to spot old patterns that keep showing up and practice new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions at the core of relationship problems. Through guided conversations it helps people name vulnerable feelings and shift how they respond to partners or family members in heated moments. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace, using active listening and gentle prompts so clients feel heard and can explore what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will listen to your concerns and preferences and suggest which ways of working might help. She aims to make that choice together so therapy aligns with your goals and comfort level.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit short breaks or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or when typing feels like a better way to express thoughts. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and make consistent progress.
