About Deboraha
Deboraha Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, and self-esteem. Her practice also addresses career difficulties and life transitions, including aging, caregiver stress, divorce, and concerns tied to illness and body image.
She uses mostly client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she listens to the problem, helps people set clear goals, and suggests concrete steps to try between meetings. She has experience in both individual and group settings and has worked with relationship concerns for more than nine years.
Clients can expect practical conversation about what is causing distress and what can be changed. Deboraha focuses on small, achievable shifts so people can test what works for them. She draws on different approaches as needed rather than sticking to a single method.
Her background includes a Master of Science degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychology and many years of outpatient practice. The work emphasizes realistic goals and short-term strategies when those fit the person’s needs. She also brings experience with military family culture and stressors related to employment and caregiving.
Deboraha accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Note that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the person’s lead, clarifies what matters most, and helps set goals that feel doable. This approach is helpful when someone needs to be heard and to shape their own next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral experiments. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and guilt-related thoughts where specific skills are helpful.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on practical change and short-term goals. It highlights what is already working and builds on it with clear steps to try between sessions. This can suit people who want focused, action-oriented work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not specify session delivery methods, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, and can allow shorter check-ins when that is most useful. Licensed professionals often adjust pacing, homework, and session length to fit everyday life rather than offering a single fixed plan.
