About Deborah
Deborah Brehm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience. She practices in Georgia and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Her approach centers on the person sitting in front of her and what that person needs next.
Deborah draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She also uses client-centered methods to prioritize each person's goals and pace.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools help when relationship patterns and intimacy issues cause ongoing pain. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Deborah listens, reflects, and helps people name patterns that get in the way.
She works with concrete strategies to reduce reactivity and build healthier responses to stress and conflict. Her background includes a specialist degree in psychological trauma from Georgia State University and many years in independent practice. Those experiences inform her work with trauma, grief, caregiver stress, and other complex life events.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances practical skills with exploration of underlying feelings. Deborah offers options for different concerns from parenting strain and blended family issues to coping with disaster, dissociation, or domestic violence. Her emphasis is on steady, realistic change suited to each person's life.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotions and reactions. It helps people recognize patterns that affect trust, closeness, and anger responses in relationships.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's goals and pace. The therapist listens with acceptance and helps clients find their own answers, which can be helpful for stress, self-esteem, and decision-making work over video or chat.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets patterns of emotional interaction in close relationships. It helps partners or individuals notice reactive cycles and practice new ways of connecting and responding to distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deborah and the client will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that fit. That collaborative process helps shape sessions and any adjustments over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients work visually through interactions and emotional cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins or short-focused support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules or distance.
