About Debra
Debra Kabrin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings three years of post-licensure experience to her work and focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues related to intimacy and grief. Debra aims to make therapy approachable and sensible for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes.
She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past bonds affect current relationships. Sessions are client-centered and shaped around each person’s needs and goals.
How Debra works
Solution-focused techniques help identify small, practical steps that move things forward between meetings. Debra is attentive to cultural and identity differences, including race, religion, and gender. She helps people from LGBT backgrounds and those coping with caregiver strain, blended family dynamics, or fertility and aging concerns.
Discussions about work, self-esteem, anger, and life purpose are also part of her practice. Sessions may include talking through current problems, mapping patterns that keep them going, and trying short experiments to change interaction styles. She supports people dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence impacts.
Debra also works with those navigating midlife transitions and grief. Therapy is offered in English and delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
How attachment and solution-focused work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. Online sessions explore those patterns through conversation and examples so people can try different ways of relating in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and shaping sessions around what the person needs in the moment. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and goals. In sessions the therapist helps identify specific actions and track progress between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which ideas and techniques to use based on their goals, comfort, and life demands. Together they try methods and adjust them if something isn’t a good fit.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when conversation and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging works for quick reflections, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while maintaining continuity of care.
