Debra Dean is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida and Utah with 35 years of professional experience. She has worked in a variety of settings across her career and brings a practical, solution-oriented approach to clinical work.
Over the years she has developed a broad set of problem-solving skills and applies them to support people facing grief and loss, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also assists clients coping with life changes, aging parents, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, LGBT-related issues, and challenges with self-esteem.
Debra believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that clients bring strengths that help them move through difficult times. She combines education and supportive guidance with a focus on realistic, achievable steps to help people address what is challenging them.
Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their needs, whether that is video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to connect in the way that feels most comfortable.
All therapists available for online work are licensed professionals, and if the partnership does not feel like the right match, it is possible to switch to a different therapist at any time. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to begin or continue mental health care.
