About Deborah
Deborah Mobley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 40 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and grief concerns among others. She works with adults seeking practical steps to manage symptoms and make healthier choices.
Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused approaches along with Motivational Interviewing to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions tend to emphasize concrete skills, problem solving, and short-term strategies that can be practiced between meetings. She also provides support related to drug and alcohol addiction and post-traumatic stress.
Her practice includes work with people who experienced significant loss from natural disasters and personal crises. She listens to each person’s experience and focuses on what can be done next. The emphasis is on clear goals and actions rather than abstract concepts.
Deborah helps with parenting stresses, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and self-esteem problems, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She also addresses intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue. For people facing bipolar mood challenges or substance misuse, she combines motivational methods with CBT-based planning.
People who choose her approach can expect direct, structured conversations about current problems and steps to try between sessions. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online process.
Approach-based online care using CBT and trauma-focused methods
Deborah works from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. CBT focuses on concrete strategies - tracking patterns, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep and eating problems.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address symptoms that follow upsetting events. This approach looks at how traumatic experiences affect thinking, feeling, and behavior, and introduces structured steps for gradual recovery. Motivational Interviewing is used when readiness for change or substance use is part of the concern, helping people clarify goals and strengthen commitment to healthier choices.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then choose practical methods to try. Sessions may shift over time as needs change, with an emphasis on testing what helps and adjusting the plan together.
