About Deborah

Deborah Devlin is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of clinical experience across outpatient settings, hospitals, disaster response teams, home-based programs, and overseas work supporting military members and their families. She holds a bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Akron, a master’s degree in community counseling from Malone University, and a master’s degree in philosophy, and she is completing her doctorate at Walden University, with dissertation research focused on post-traumatic growth among military members.

Her practice is grounded in a client-centered perspective that draws on motivational interviewing, systems theory, developmental theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. Deborah works with youth, families, individuals, and groups addressing both mental health and addiction disorders. She brings experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting concerns, sleep and eating issues, career transitions, and many other life changes.

Deborah aims to help clients move forward in meaningful, healthy ways and enjoys working with people across the lifespan. She approaches each case with practical tools and a focus on collaboration, helping clients set goals and build the skills they need to progress.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions aligned with personal values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes by building psychological flexibility. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it explores connection, trust, and relational needs to help with relationship issues, family dynamics, and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical coping skills; it is frequently applied for anxiety, depression, and many behavioral concerns.

Deborah Devlin takes a collaborative approach, recognizing that finding the right therapy style is part of the process. She works with clients to identify goals, test approaches, and adjust techniques based on individual needs, preferences, and progress. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what works best for each person.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect when in-person visits are impractical. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, consistent access to a licensed professional, and multiple ways to engage with therapy depending on comfort and circumstance.
