More about me

Years in Practice: 7 State: New Jersey

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked as a mental health professional for the past 16 years in New Jersey. During the past seven years I have also worked in the capacity of a Licensed Social Worker. I have enjoyed helping individuals navigate through life's journey. My area of expertise includes substance abuse; depression; anxiety; anger management; communication challenges; elderly care; relationship conflicts; goal planning; blended family challenges; and parenting.

I have enjoyed linking the consumer to services that will help them to overcome obstacles in their life. While working with individuals and families I have helped consumers to develop coping skills to manage various life challenges. During my years of practice, I have provided compassionate and client centered therapy. I am a good listener and have a passion for helping consumers achieve their full potential.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I was not always sure about participating in over the phone therapy services. I preferred live chat. I had one phone session with Debbie and I was very pleased. She has a nice personality and knows just how to ease conversation so that you feel your most comfortable. She even checks in regularly outside of scheduled therapy time to check in. I can message her and she gets back to me in a timely manner. She’s awesome!
