Debra Stone - LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 10 years of experience. Debra Stone helps people address addictions, relationship and family problems, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, stress, and changes related to career or life transitions.

She works with adults facing issues such as intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and coping after separation or divorce. Debra also focuses on substance and behavioral addictions, blended family dynamics, and concerns tied to aging, autism spectrum traits, intellectual disability, and women’s issues.

Her approach starts from the belief that each person knows their story and already carries strengths to draw on. In sessions she listens, asks direct questions, and helps people map practical steps they can try between meetings. The emphasis is on concrete strategies for managing emotions and making choices that fit daily life.

Debra frames change as a series of small, testable steps rather than a single big shift. She will work with a client to set short-term goals and check progress regularly. Conversations cover coping skills for stress, plans for reducing harmful behavior, and ways to repair or redefine important relationships.

People looking to begin work with her can expect straightforward discussion about goals and next steps. She uses her decade of clinical experience to guide problem solving, reduce overwhelm, and help people move toward clearer decisions about their life and relationships.
