About Deborah
Deborah Mobley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 40 years of experience. She focuses on using practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction issues, trauma symptoms, and mood concerns. Deborah listens closely and works with each person where they are.
She supports people as they make healthier choices and find clearer direction in life. Her work often begins with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
How Deborah works
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past hurt. These approaches guide short-term goals and longer recovery plans. Deborah has decades of experience supporting people after major losses, crises, and substance-related problems.
She draws on that background to help people cope with grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her style is direct, caring, and practical. Sessions focus on clear steps, skills to use between visits, and realistic goals.
She works with issues related to parenting, relationships, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, career concerns, and life purpose. Deborah also supports people living with bipolar disorder and those facing post-traumatic stress. She helps people build steady routines and better choices so daily life feels more manageable.
Deborah practices in Florida and offers a range of remote session formats. She encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire to find the right fit and schedule sessions that suit their life rhythm.

Online support options
Using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Care Online
Deborah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT focuses on practical exercises and skills you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve sleep.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own motivation for change. This approach is conversational and helps clarify goals around substance use, healthy decisions, and life direction.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past hurt affects daily functioning. This approach helps people process difficult memories and build coping strategies that reduce triggers and improve daily routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Deborah will discuss options and tailor methods to match each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together you set small, achievable steps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper work and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days for brief check-ins and skill practice. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into life.
