About Deborah

LMHC in Florida with 40 years of experience, Deborah Mobley focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and related struggles. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused approaches and draws on Motivational Interviewing when exploring readiness for change. Deborah works with adults on problems such as depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues that affect daily functioning.

Deborah helps people who are coping with substance use and post-traumatic stress, and she addresses eating and sleeping problems that often accompany mood and anxiety concerns. Her work also includes support for parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She lists drug and alcohol addiction, life purpose, and post-traumatic stress as additional focus areas.

Her approach centers on practical methods that change patterns of thought and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a regular part of sessions to identify unhelpful thinking and build different responses. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are affecting current symptoms and day-to-day coping.

Motivational Interviewing is a tool she uses to help people weigh options and strengthen their own reasons for change. Sessions are described as collaborative; Deborah works with each person to set goals and try out new strategies between meetings.

Deborah’s background includes long-term clinical experience in Florida and work with people affected by loss and large-scale crises. She holds the credential LMHC and conducts therapy in English.

How Deborah uses evidence-based approaches online

Deborah routinely uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills that reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change behaviors that interfere with daily life.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are driving current symptoms. This approach helps process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on present reactions, which can be useful for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Deborah will review needs, goals, and preferences with each person and adjust methods as treatment progresses. She aims to match techniques to what a person wants to work on and what fits their pace.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use this flexibility to keep momentum between in-person appointments or when scheduling constraints arise.
