About Debra
Debra Speicher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California and an Independent Social Work Licensee (LISW) licensed in Ohio with 10 years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and concerns around intimacy. She also focuses on isolation, questions of life purpose, and panic disorder and panic attacks.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions cover what is happening now and what is getting in the way of daily functioning. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and develop concrete coping strategies for panic, anxiety, and low mood. Practical skills and simple routines are foregrounded rather than long theoretical explanations.
Debra adapts the pace to each person. Some people start with short goals for immediate relief. Others work on longer-term patterns that affect relationships and sense of purpose. She pays attention to motivation and confidence as part of progress, and adjusts the plan when a particular approach isn’t helping.
Her background across California and Ohio settings has involved a range of everyday life stressors. That experience informs how she frames problems and suggests solutions that fit work, family, and other time demands. Sessions aim to be actionable and relevant to daily life.
If you want straightforward help with anxiety, grief, or feeling stuck, she focuses on clarity, step-by-step problem solving, and practical tools you can try between sessions.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online work fits in
Debra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills. One common approach she applies teaches breathing and grounding exercises alongside stepwise plans for managing panic attacks. This helps people reduce intense symptoms and regain control during acute episodes.She also emphasizes behavioral strategies that target anxiety and depression. These methods look at daily routines and small behavioral changes that improve mood and motivation, such as activity scheduling and gradual exposure to feared situations. They are useful when symptoms are affecting work, sleep, or relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Debra works with each person to identify what feels manageable and effective, and she adjusts plans based on progress and feedback. The goal is to match skills and pacing to day-to-day responsibilities and personal goals.
