About Deborah
Deborah Gromack is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, grief, life changes, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. She also lists additional focuses such as aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and caregiver stress.
Deborah trained in expressive therapies and music therapy and holds an MA and the LMHC credential. She began her career studying developmental psychology and later completed graduate work in expressive therapies at Lesley University. Her background includes work with older adults, people living with dementia, individuals on the autism spectrum, and children and adults with developmental delays.
Her practice emphasizes a client-centered way of working. Sessions give the client a leading role in setting goals and deciding what methods to use. Deborah often offers creative arts options such as music, art, storytelling, or writing when they feel helpful, but these are optional and chosen with the client.
In practical terms she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered work to address thinking patterns, coping skills, and short-term problem solving. That mix is used to help people manage anxiety, change unhelpful behavior, and plan concrete steps during life transitions.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what is difficult now, clear goals, and experiments or exercises to try between sessions. Deborah’s approach is collaborative and aims to help people put manageable tools into everyday life.
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client in charge of the goals and pacing. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping the client decide what feels most useful. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort out decisions, identity concerns, or relationship issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and ADHD-related coping strategies.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and practical steps. Sessions often identify what is already working and build simple plans to move forward. This can help people who want quick tools for work, study, or life transitions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide which approaches fit your needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as goals shift.
