About Debora

Debora Van Romer is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 16 years of experience. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She focuses on listening and noticing patterns that make daily life harder. Sessions are straightforward and centered on what a person wants to change. Debora uses clear questions and reflective responses to help people name difficult emotions and decide on practical next steps.

Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and attachment needs affect relationships and personal well-being. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to strengthen understanding of how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are available to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in the moment.

Debora supports people facing family problems, caregiving stress, abandonment concerns, codependency, and changes such as separation or divorce. She is familiar with issues linked to domestic violence, dissociation, and forgiveness work. Her approach balances emotional exploration with concrete skills for coping.

Sessions are offered in English and reflect her years of clinical experience in Ohio. People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to discuss goals and next steps.

How Emotionally-Focused and Attachment Work Translate Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that drive patterns in relationships and personal life. It helps people notice interaction cycles and try different emotional responses to change those patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and closeness, which can clarify why certain situations trigger strong feelings and what helps regulate them.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to the person’s perspective without directing the content of sessions. Together these approaches give room for feeling and also for making concrete changes. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and work collaboratively to decide which approaches to use.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping follow-ups brief when needed. The biography did not specify which online formats are provided, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online meetings easier for short check-ins, less commute time, and arranging sessions around caregiving or work obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt Emotionally-Focused and attachment-based methods to remote sessions while helping clients practice new ways of relating in daily life.
