About Deborah
Deborah Brehm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, relationships, depression, and coping with life changes. Deborah also addresses issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and first responder issues.
She combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based ideas with client-centered work to help people notice and name difficult feelings. Sessions often look at how emotions shape relationships and behavior. Deborah uses straightforward conversation and listening to help people understand patterns that recur in their lives and families.
Her background includes a specialist degree in psychological trauma from Georgia State University's professional counseling program and work as a trainer in trauma-focused methods. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with traumatic events, dissociation, and grief after separation or divorce.
In practice she may work with an individual, a partner, or include family members when it helps address the issue. Conversations can cover parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, caregiving strain, or intimacy and trust in relationships. She also brings existential ideas when clients are facing big questions about meaning, loss, or life direction.
Deborah offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Deborah integrates EFT and attachment work in virtual sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting the emotions that drive relationship patterns. It helps people and partners notice moments when fear, hurt, or anger shape reactions and teaches ways to express those emotions so interactions change.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the ways early relationships affect adult behavior and closeness. It helps people recognize attachment needs and the patterns that can lead to distance, anxiety, or repeated conflict.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes clear, respectful listening and following the client's concerns. This approach gives space for clients to set the pace and topics while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts her focus as those goals evolve over time.
