About Deborah
Dr. Deborah Jones, LMHC, is licensed in New York and has 21 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem issues, career and relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Her additional focus areas include infidelity and self-harm. She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and emphasizes clients' strengths in making change.
Dr. Jones uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Sessions focus on practical steps and conversations that help people manage symptoms and make decisions. She asks questions, offers feedback, and helps clients try new behaviors between sessions.
Her PhD in Human Service/Counseling studies underpins two decades of practice. The LMHC credential indicates licensure to practice in New York. She frames beginning therapy as a first step that takes courage and supports people in taking that step.
In sessions she listens for strengths and barriers. She helps people set short-term goals and track small changes. Conversations often include skill-building for anxiety, planning around addiction recovery, and strategies to cope with life transitions.
People who want to start are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial visit. The therapist uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; fees vary with location. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and supports the client's own problem solving. This approach suits people who want to build on their strengths and make decisions from their own priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method to increase motivation for change. It helps people weigh options and build commitment to steps like reducing substance use or addressing self-harm risk.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may change over time as goals evolve.
