About Debra
Debra Stone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as addictions, relationships, family and parenting stress, depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. Sessions are practical and focused on everyday problems.
Debra frames clients as the experts in their own stories. She helps people identify strengths they already have and build on them. Conversations aim to clarify what is most important and set small, achievable steps toward change.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep a problem repeating and looks for practical adjustments. That might include changing how someone manages stress, setting boundaries at work or home, or developing routines that support mood stability. She also addresses substance and process addictions with attention to how they affect relationships and family life.
Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, divorce and separation, intellectual disability, and issues that often follow infidelity or guilt. She helps parents and young adults navigate transitions and role changes.
Debra keeps the focus on clear goals and steps a person can try between meetings. Her approach is aimed at making daily life easier to manage and helping people regain a sense of control over practical problems.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches guide online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical methods that help with mood, behavior, and relationships. One common approach is behavioral strategies that break problems into small, manageable tasks and test what works. This can help with depression, anxiety, and day-to-day coping by encouraging concrete changes in routine and activity levels.Another useful approach is skills-based work that teaches communication, boundary setting, and emotional regulation. These skills support people dealing with relationship conflict, parenting stresses, anger, and intimacy issues. A brief problem-solving orientation is also often used to address specific issues like work stress or decisions about substance use.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person’s situation, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to schedule shorter check-ins when needed.
