About Debra
Debra Counadis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Hawaii with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and address depression and low self-esteem. Her practice focuses on practical, day-to-day concerns that affect family life, work, and personal wellbeing.
She works in straightforward, conversational sessions. Debra adjusts the way she talks and the plan she uses to fit a person's situation. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. This includes building coping strategies, improving motivation, and noticing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Debra also addresses issues related to control, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety or phobia. She helps people break large problems into smaller, manageable tasks. The aim is to relieve immediate stress and make daily routines easier to manage.
Her approach tends to be practical and goal-oriented. People can expect clear explanations of options and simple tools to practice outside sessions. Progress is tracked through real-life changes rather than abstract measures.

BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Debra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which is useful for anxiety and low mood. Another approach targets skills for managing stress and building daily routines, useful for coping with life changes and burnout.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps in real life. This is a collaborative process where the choice of techniques is guided by the person's needs and preferences.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the original biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about options that match your routine and technical setup when you complete the matching questionnaire.
