About Deborah

Deborah Gromack is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who blends client-centered principles with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work.

Background and approach

With 27 years of clinical practice, she helps people clarify their stories and develop concrete steps to address stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. Deborah emphasizes collaboration, inviting clients to direct the pace and focus of therapy while she offers structure and tools to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her background includes graduate training in expressive therapies and a long history of using creative arts interventions alongside talk-based approaches. Deborah has experience supporting people managing aging-related concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, autism spectrum issues, attachment and family-of-origin dynamics, and substance-related problems.

She also brings skills in addressing intimacy, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, career-related stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and co-morbid mental health issues. Based in Massachusetts and offering services in English, Deborah accepts international clients and provides sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She holds an MA and the LMHC credential (MA LMHC LMHC6604) and frames therapy as a partnership focused on practical change and personal meaning.

How Deborah’s Approaches Translate to Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns; sessions typically focus on specific problems and measurable steps toward change. Client-Centered Therapy concentrates on the person’s experience, offering empathetic listening and support so clients can explore their own goals and make choices that feel right for them. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes building on existing strengths and identifying small, concrete changes that move a person toward their preferred outcomes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Deborah works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods so the work fits the individual. That collaborative process helps tailor whether the focus will be skill-building, creative expression, emotional exploration, or a combination of approaches.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or those living in different regions. These formats allow for regular contact and continuity of care while supporting a practical, goal-oriented process that can include homework, skill practice, and creative interventions adapted for remote work.
