About Debora
Debora Van Romer is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and meets people where they are. Her tone is supportive and straightforward to help reduce the worry around starting therapy.
With 16 years of experience, she draws on approaches that help people talk about attachment, emotions, and day-to-day thinking patterns.
How Debora works
Sessions are meant to be a place to sort out what feels overwhelming and to practice new ways of coping. She encourages honest conversation about family history, intimacy, and identity concerns when those issues come up. Her work addresses a wide range of topics including grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, and challenges tied to abandonment or codependency.
She also supports people facing divorce, domestic violence aftermath, caregiver stress, and aging or geriatric concerns. Communication problems and family of origin issues are frequently part of the discussion. Debora uses methods from attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused therapy, and existential ideas to tailor sessions.
That mix allows practical skill building alongside space to reflect on meaning and relationships. She helps clients choose what feels most useful for their situation. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows therapist availability.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how past and present relationships affect current feelings and behavior, helping people notice patterns in intimacy and security. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can explore what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try strategies together. That shared planning helps adapt methods over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for on-the-go updates, keeping momentum between sessions, or when people prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue care from different locations.
