About Deborah
Deborah Brehm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses parenting challenges and issues that arise when life changes or careers shift.
Deborah uses approaches that center on emotional connection and attachment. Sessions focus on what a person is living with now and how that connects to earlier relationships. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to feelings, patterns, and what someone can try between sessions.
When blended family issues are part of the picture, Deborah helps people sort daily routines, loyalty questions, and parenting boundaries. She talks through concrete steps for stepparent roles, co-parenting tension, and rearranging household patterns. The work often mixes looking at emotions with problem-solving for everyday life.
Her background includes study of trauma and a specialist degree in psychological trauma from Georgia State University. Deborah has practiced in private settings for many years and has worked with people facing complex losses, caregiver stress, and relationship ruptures.
Sessions tend to balance listening with interventions from attachment-based and emotionally-focused approaches. The goal is to help a person notice what is happening in relationships and try different ways of responding. Practical next steps are a regular part of the conversation.
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online work
Deborah uses attachment-based work to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions. This approach helps when trust, loyalty conflicts, or repeated relationship patterns cause ongoing stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to identify and name core feelings and the interaction patterns that keep problems going. EFT can be helpful for couples and individuals who want clearer communication and less reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That includes checking in on what helps in day-to-day life and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
