About Debora
Debora Van Romer is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 16 years of experience. She welcomes parents and caregivers who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck and want practical ways to cope. Debora writes plainly and listens closely to understand the everyday pressures her clients face.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with codependency, communication problems, abandonment, caregiving strain, and forgiveness.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear steps you can try between meetings. Debora blends client-centered care with attachment-informed thinking and cognitive-behavioral techniques. That means she starts by following what matters most to the person in front of her, then helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way.
The work often includes small experiments, new ways of communicating, and attention to how early relationships shape present reactions. Her approach aims to be direct and human. People can expect straightforward feedback, practical tools, and time to reflect on emotions and values.
She pays attention to the impact of life changes like divorce, caregiving responsibilities, and loss. Debora offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging, so parents can choose what fits their schedule. To begin, follow the site prompts to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session with timing that works for you.

How attachment work and practical therapy translate online
Attachment-Based approaches focus on how close relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help people notice patterns formed in early relationships and practice new ways of asking for support or setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short experiments to change unhelpful patterns. That can include tracking moods, testing beliefs, and trying different behaviors between sessions to see what helps. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and daily demands. That collaborative work means trying something, checking how it felt, and adjusting the plan if needed. Online formats offer practical benefits for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping ideas, or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and keep progress moving forward.Questions people ask about Debora
