Hi, I’m Deborah. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy for adults across Pennsylvania. I specialize in supporting and teaching coping skills to clients with anxiety and depression, those going through a life transition or change, grief or loss, or trauma and ptsd. I tailor sessions for each client's unique background, values, concerns, and goals. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, trauma informed therapies, and faith based approaches . I seek to create a space where you feel safe to process your emotions, build insight and develop coping skills that will help you feel better and function better.
In our first session, we will take time to understand your current concerns, your history, and the stressors you’re managing right now. We will talk together about what you want to work on, and an develop an initial plan, so you leave with a clear sense of what to expect moving forward.
I bring a calm, steady presence to sessions and work to create an environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I see each client's strengths and respect each person’s values, pace, and choices. I draw from both faith informed approaches at the clients request. Wherever you are and have been, there is hope for you. Reach out and schedule an appointment today. I look forward to meeting you.
Every client brings a unique mix of experiences, struggles, perspectives, and inner resources. I’m most effective with clients who are willing to engage in self‑reflection and growth, and who are open to learning new ways of coping. My role is to help them connect with their values and make changes that move them toward a more meaningful and workable life.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a highly effective, evidence-based treatment approach that focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In sessions, I use CBT to help clients recognize and challenge negative beliefs, develop healthier cognitive patterns, and adopt constructive coping strategies.
I utilize Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), an effective evidence-based treatment approach that helps clients live a meaningful life, directed by values based actions in the midst of challenging life circumstances. Clients learn mindfulness and meditation skills to develop psychological flexibility and nervous system regulation.
I utilize positive psychology to help clients recognize their strengths, build resilience, and create lives grounded in research‑supported practices that promote well‑being and flourishing. This includes cultivating positive emotion, deepening engagement in meaningful activities, nurturing supportive relationships, clarifying meaning and purpose, and encouraging steady accomplishment through achievable goals.
I work with clients across a range of Christian traditions. I follow their lead regarding how much or how little faith integration they want. For clients who prefer a purely clinical approach, therapy remains fully evidence‑based without spiritual content.
