About
Debbie Chen, LMHC, is a Florida-based therapist with nine years of clinical practice. She works with people across the lifespan, having treated ages from 5 to 80, and addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, and mood disorders.

Her approach centers on listening carefully and supporting each person’s autonomy as they navigate change. She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client’s goals guide session work. Debbie places emphasis on building practical strategies for coping, improving communication, and managing intense emotions while attending to underlying patterns that can influence mood and behavior.
Debbie aims to create a patient, respectful atmosphere where individuals and families can explore concerns and identify steps forward. She accepts clients who live in Florida and offers a range of clinical approaches to match different needs and preferences.
Remote therapy with practical, collaborative methods
Debbie offers online sessions that draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centered and systemic perspectives. In remote work she uses CBT to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, making sessions focused on concrete strategies and skill practice. Motivational Interviewing is applied to support readiness for change and to explore personal values when making decisions about behaviors and goals.
When relationships or family dynamics are central, systemic ideas guide conversations about patterns between people and how those patterns affect individual wellbeing. Across these approaches Debbie emphasizes a collaborative stance: she helps clients set goals, chooses techniques alongside them, and adapts pace to individual needs.
Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people connect. This range of communication options is intended to accommodate different preferences for interaction while maintaining a focused therapeutic collaboration.How long has Debbie been practicing?
