About Debora
Debora Van Romer, LPCC, is licensed in Ohio and has 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Her work also covers parenting struggles, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem challenges.
Van Romer uses an attachment-based and client-centered stance in sessions. She combines these with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally focused approaches to address patterns in relationships and emotion regulation. Conversations focus on practical steps as well as understanding how past connections shape current feelings.
Sessions are conversational. She listens for patterns such as codependency, control issues, or difficulty with commitment. Clients can expect to talk through recent problems and the histories that feed them. The aim is clearer communication, fewer reactive cycles, and better coping with life changes.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns beyond the most common ones. These include abandonment, aging and caregiver stress, dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, family of origin problems, and forgiveness work. She also supports people dealing with emptiness, anger, and attachment difficulties.
Van Romer frames therapy as a collaborative process. She uses direct problem-solving alongside reflection about values and meaning. That combination is intended to help people reduce symptoms and handle everyday challenges more effectively.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotions. Online sessions using attachment ideas look at patterns of closeness, trust, and distance to help improve connection and reduce reactivity. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client's perspective. In virtual sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people find their own solutions for stress, grief, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety and depression. When used online, CBT can provide clear, structured tools for managing symptoms and practicing new skills between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This process may involve trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting as progress is tracked. Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking. The practical advantages of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time. These benefits help make therapy more manageable for everyday life.03
