About Deborah
Deborah Brehm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 21 years of experience. She focuses on people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Deborah centers sessions on the client's immediate needs and practical steps they can use between meetings. Her background includes work with trauma, loss, and complex family situations.
She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's situation, including the Gottman Method for relationship work and attachment-based strategies for connection and repair. She also uses client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to help people name feelings and try new ways of relating.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Deborah aims to help clients notice patterns, practice new skills, and track small changes over time.
She supports people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver strain, adoption and foster care issues, and the emotional fallout from separation or loss. Her practice addresses both mood and behavior concerns, from anger and low self-esteem to bipolar and first responder stress.
People working through trauma, dissociation, domestic violence aftermath, or forgiveness challenges can expect careful pacing and attention to safety in the work. Deborah offers therapy in English and accepts international clients.
She provides flexible online formats so people can fit sessions into busy lives. The starting step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button.
How Deborah’s Approaches Work Online
Deborah commonly blends the Gottman Method with attachment-based approaches to address relationship and connection issues. The Gottman Method focuses on practical exercises for communication, conflict management, and rebuilding trust, which can be used to improve day-to-day interactions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotion and behavior, helping people notice patterns and build more supported ways of relating.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's perspective and pace. Together these approaches are chosen collaboratively: the therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is joint and adaptable to each person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for role-play, observing interaction patterns, and detailed work that benefits from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions can fit a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
