About Deborah

Deborah Mobley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who centers her work on cognitive behavioral approaches to help people move from survival toward healthier patterns.

Background and approach

With a 40-year clinical background, she combines practical, evidence-informed strategies with trauma-focused techniques to address anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and difficulties with decision making. Her practice emphasizes recovery support and guiding clients through tangible steps to manage symptoms and build coping skills.

She has experience assisting individuals and families who have faced significant loss from natural disasters and personal crises, bringing a calm, compassionate presence to each session. Deborah listens attentively and starts from each person’s current situation, collaborating to identify reachable goals and pathways forward.

Her approach balances structured interventions with a respectful, accepting stance so clients can work toward improved daily functioning and overall wellbeing.

Bringing CBT and Trauma-Informed Care to Online Sessions



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. It uses practical exercises and skills-building to help people manage daily challenges and make measurable progress. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past traumatic experiences affect current emotions and reactions, offering strategies to process difficult memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms while supporting recovery and resilience.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Deborah works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and immediate needs, then tailors interventions so therapy feels relevant and manageable. Together they review what’s working and adjust methods over time to find the most helpful path forward.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and lets clients access care from wherever they are located in Florida. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while still using structured, evidence-informed techniques to address recovery, trauma, and behavior change.
