About Deborah
Deborah Bruno is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience, licensed in Florida and New Jersey. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and LGBT concerns. She also addresses attachment issues, body image, divorce and separation, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and workplace problems.
Bruno works with adults and couples, and also with older adults. She uses a cognitive behavioral approach and a brief solution-focused model to help people set clear goals and solve immediate problems. Sessions are practical and aim to identify small changes that can reduce distress.
Her style is direct and goal-oriented. She listens, helps clients name their priorities, and outlines steps to move forward. Conversations cover emotions, behaviors, and the situations that keep problems going. Progress is tracked by the goals people and she agree on together.
Her experience includes long-term practice across two state licensure systems. That background shapes how she understands life stressors, loss, and addictive patterns. She draws on years of client work to recognize common traps and workable responses.
Outside of clinical work she is a native New Yorker who enjoys golf. The practical focus in sessions reflects an interest in everyday functioning and clear next steps. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
