About Deborah
Deborah Brehm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience. She practices in Georgia and brings a calm, direct style to sessions. Deborah emphasizes practical steps that parents and individuals can try between meetings.
Her approach is rooted in listening first, then helping clients find clearer ways forward. Deborah draws on several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape behavior.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift patterns that cause conflict or distance. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities. In sessions she aims to help parents manage stress and anxiety related to caregiving and family life.
She also addresses trauma, relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem, anger, and life changes. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and first responder challenges. Deborah works with people coping with depression, bipolar symptoms, dissociation, and the aftereffects of domestic violence or other abuse.
She pays attention to attachment issues and healing patterns that repeat across relationships. Her work often includes building skills for regulation, communication, and boundary-setting. Practical tools and clear goals are central to her method.
Sessions balance exploring feelings with concrete steps clients can use at home. Deborah also offers multiple online formats to fit busy schedules and different needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and relationship work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. It can help people understand recurring patterns with partners or children and build more stable connections. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotions that drive conflicts and distance in close relationships. EFT helps partners and parents name those feelings and practice new, healthier responses. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client’s goals in the lead and provides a supportive space to make decisions and try changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Plans are adjusted as progress is noticed, so the work stays relevant to what the client wants to change.
Online work makes therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules are tight. Phone sessions can be a good option when lower bandwidth is needed or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, brief reflections between sessions, or ongoing skill practice. These options help parents and busy adults fit therapy into their day and keep momentum between sessions.
