About Deborah
Deborah Gromack is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 27 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, depression, grief, and adapting to life changes. She also addresses issues around parenting, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, sleep problems, and intimacy-related concerns.
Deborah trained in expressive therapies with a concentration in music therapy and has used creative arts alongside talk-based work. Early roles included teaching, research on parent-infant relationships, and community advocacy in fair housing. Those experiences shaped her interest in how stories and shared activities help people connect and make sense of change.
In sessions she practices a client-centered approach that encourages people to set the pace and direction. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to offer practical strategies and short-term goals. Creative methods such as music, art, or writing may be introduced when helpful and when a person chooses to use them.
Her work has included people coping with trauma and abuse, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, autism spectrum conditions, and first responder issues. She has experience supporting those facing family-of-origin problems, codependency, and substance use challenges.
Deborah speaks English and accepts international clients. She asks new clients to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online work
Deborah uses a client-centered approach that lets the person set goals and the pace. In practice this means conversations focus on what matters now, and she follows the concerns the client brings up. Client-centered work can fit well online because it relies on dialogue and reflection rather than specific in-room activities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical method she uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioral changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management because it breaks problems into manageable steps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on brief goal-setting and building on existing strengths to find concrete next steps for change.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Deborah will help clients choose whether to focus on talk-based CBT work, solution-focused goal setting, creative expressive methods, or a blend. Together they review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in the short term.
