About Deborah

Deborah Brehm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the ripple effects of trauma. Her approach centers on the person's experience and goals.

She uses plain talk and practical steps to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. Deborah's background includes graduate study in psychological trauma. She combines that training with approaches that focus on emotions, attachment, and relationships.

Background and approach

In sessions she helps people notice what matters most to them and how feelings shape their choices. Her work commonly addresses parenting strain, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and issues that emerge after loss or separation. She also helps people facing career shifts, burnout, compassion fatigue, and first responder stress.

The list of concerns she supports includes anger, self-esteem, dissociation, and coping after natural or human-caused disaster. Deborah draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered ideas, existential perspectives, and the Gottman Method to shape sessions. She adapts those approaches to each person's needs and comfort level.

Sessions focus on clearer feelings, safer connection, and practical steps people can use between meetings. Services are offered in English and are available to international clients. Session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

How emotion-focused and attachment work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. It helps people name feelings, understand interaction patterns, and build more reliable emotional connection. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and helps people form safer, more trusting ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance where the person sets the pace and direction of therapy.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Deborah will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as progress is made or needs change.

Online sessions offer flexibility for a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when working on emotions and connection. Phone sessions and live chat can fit short check-ins or lower-bandwidth days. Text-based messaging is useful for brief updates, journaling between sessions, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, parenting, caregiving, or travel.
