About
Deborah Gromack is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts who combines a background in expressive arts with long-standing clinical experience.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Developmental Psychology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1988 and later completed a Master of Arts in Expressive Therapies with a concentration in Music Therapy at Lesley University, graduating in 1998. Her training qualified her to become a nationally board-certified music therapist and a licensed mental health counselor, and she has maintained both credentials since 1998.
Early in her career she worked as a research assistant on studies of the mother-infant relationship, served as a public school teacher, and was active as a civil rights and fair housing advocate, helping to launch a HUD-funded organization focused on fair housing practices. A multicultural music benefit she helped organize prompted her interest in the therapeutic uses of music, which led her to pursue formal training in music therapy.
Over a 27-year clinical career, Deborah has worked as a music therapist, expressive arts therapist, and mental health counselor with older adults, including those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, as well as with children and adults on the autism spectrum and those with developmental delays. In her counseling practice she has supported children, young adults, and adults facing depression, anxiety, family conflicts, major life changes, and trauma.
Her clinical approach is client-centered, with a belief that the client guides the therapeutic process. She often draws on expressive and creative arts - music, art, poetry, theatre, storytelling, and writing - to provide a contained way for people to explore and express thoughts and emotions that can be difficult to name. Deborah aims to meet each person where they are and offers creative arts methods as an option to support healing and greater clarity.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that fits their needs and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it simpler to access care alongside work, family, and other commitments.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is needed it is possible to switch providers. For many people, online therapy offers a practical and effective way to get support for everyday mental health concerns.
