About Deboraha
Deboraha Johnson is a licensed professional counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling and Psychology. She brings 19 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the everyday strains of parenting. Her tone is practical and straightforward, aimed at parents who need clear, doable steps rather than jargon.
She uses approaches that center the client and focus on solutions. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She helps people set realistic steps to address sleep problems, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and career stress.
Background and approach
Deboraha has worked in outpatient settings offering both individual and group therapy. Her background includes years supporting people through chronic illness, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and concerns related to aging and cancer. That range helps her match methods to each person’s situation.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful therapeutic relationship. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and with Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and practical strategies. Parents often find this mix useful for managing daily routines and emotional ups-and-downs.
She speaks English and offers services to people in Georgia and internationally. Her practice emphasizes collaboration - she works with each person to set goals and track progress over time. To start, she asks a few simple questions and helps schedule the next step.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect. It helps people feel heard and understood, which often makes it easier to talk about parenting stress, grief, or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It teaches simple tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build better daily routines, which can help with sleep, anxiety, and mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and practical steps. It helps people identify what’s already working and build small changes that fit into busy family life.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That shared decision-making shapes the pace and focus of sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework, or when a written check-in fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting schedules and work commitments.
