About Deborah
Deborah Abram is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New Hampshire with 22 years of experience. She works with people who want to make changes in their lives and addresses concerns such as grief, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship and family problems, and anger among other issues.
She describes an eclectic approach and draws from multiple methods rather than using just one model. Sessions often include talking through faith when that is important to the client, since she also practices as a Spiritual Director. Deborah has additional experience as a creativity coach, and she brings practical tools alongside that conversational work.
In sessions she focuses on concrete coping strategies for everyday problems. Clients can expect to look at thoughts and behaviors, try skills to manage intense emotions, and practice different ways of handling stress or conflict. She uses elements from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-oriented ideas as needed.
Deborah offers a straightforward working style and avoids judgment. She notes that reaching out can feel hard and aims to make starting that process easier. She prefers real-time contact rather than only messaging and includes live chat, phone, or video sessions with messaging between meetings.
Her background spans common life transitions and clinical concerns such as trauma, bipolar mood issues, caregiving stress, end-of-life and hospice-related support, and intimacy or communication problems. She practices in Florida and holds credentials as LCMHC and LMHC.
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online work
Deborah commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and patterns that fuel anger. DBT adds skills for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and managing interpersonal conflict.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes what matters to the person in front of her and supports conversations about values, including faith when clients want that included. That approach helps when people want to explore why they react the way they do and what they want to do differently. Deborah will collaborate with each person to determine which mix of approaches fits their goals and preferences.
The biography states she offers live chat, phone, or video sessions with messaging between appointments and that she will not do only messaging. Confirm the current session options before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a work break, avoid commuting, have a shorter check-in by phone when needed, or use video for more interactive skill practice. The therapist will discuss scheduling and the right session format during the initial match and first visits.
