About Deborah
Deborah Brehm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also addresses issues such as intimacy, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and career pressures.
Deborah often looks at how relationships shape a person’s daily life. She will talk with clients about patterns in attachment and communication. Sessions may consider how family history, adoption or foster experiences, and caregiving roles affect current struggles.
Her approach draws on client-centered principles and emotionally-focused work. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client and on identifying emotions that drive behavior. She also uses attachment-based ideas and methods influenced by the Gottman Method to address relationship and intimacy issues.
Clients might talk through recent events, long-standing family dynamics, or practical steps for coping with stress. Deborah works with concerns like caregiver fatigue, codependency, grief from separation or divorce, and effects of trauma or dissociation. She also supports those dealing with first responder stress and the fallout from disasters.
Deborah accepts clients internationally and conducts work in English. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the site’s online therapy options.
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online work
Deborah draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. That approach helps when recurring conflicts or difficulty trusting others show up in dating, work, or close relationships. She also uses client-centered methods that keep the conversation focused on what the client wants to address and on their own perspective and goals.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another core influence she uses for couples and for individuals working on intimacy issues. EFT helps people name underlying emotions and try new ways of responding in relationships, which can be useful for partners and for young adults navigating early serious relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and will test what feels helpful. That conversation helps decide whether attachment work, emotionally-focused techniques, or a client-centered frame fits best.
