About Debra
Debra Martin is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on nearly nine years of clinical experience to guide practical steps for feeling steadier. Debra speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.
Her approach centers on working together in a respectful, open way. Sessions focus on identifying concerns, setting clear goals, and trying strategies that fit everyday life. She uses techniques from client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches to shape each plan.
Debra often helps people who are juggling parenting, career demands, or caregiving responsibilities. She also supports those dealing with sleep problems, low self-esteem, mood shifts, and life transitions. She works with issues such as ADHD, anger, relationship and family stress, and questions about meaning and purpose.
In the first meetings she learns what matters most and builds a practical plan. Some people start with small, doable steps and then add new skills as they go. Debra emphasizes collaboration - clients set the goals and she helps map the path to reach them.
Debra practices in Ohio and holds the LISW credential. Sessions are conducted in English, and she does not accept international clients. If someone is ready to begin, the next step is to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps when someone needs space to name what matters and then move toward their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help with stress, sleep, and anxiety. These approaches are practical and can be used in short exercises between sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Debra will collaborate with the person to decide what techniques fit their goals and daily routine. She adjusts plans based on feedback so the approach stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Licensed professionals often use a mix of conversations and brief home practices to help clients build skills that translate into everyday life.
