About Debra
Debra Kabrin is a California LMFT with three years of post-licensure experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, and life purpose issues. Sessions are conducted in English and are informed by attachment, client-centered, and solution-focused approaches.
She focuses on practical steps people can use when life feels stalled after a change in work, relationships, or health. Debra talks through relationship patterns and attachment concerns, helps identify short-term coping strategies, and supports people who are questioning what matters next. She also addresses grief, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, and some caregiving stresses.
Her style centers on listening to each person's experience and responding with clear, straightforward suggestions. In sessions she uses client-centered techniques to reflect what matters most to the person. She draws on solution-focused methods to set small, achievable goals and then revisits progress together.
Debra pays attention to cultural and identity factors such as race, religion, and gender when they shape a person’s stress or choices. She also works with people dealing with midlife reassessment, fertility-related stress, blended family concerns, and other family-of-origin issues. Practical problem solving and clearer communication are common targets in her work.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns. In a few sessions she may identify recurring attachment responses and help people try different ways of relating that feel safer and clearer. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It supports people who need space to sort through decisions about work, relationships, or life purpose. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small goals people can try between sessions to test what helps and what does not.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. She will discuss needs, preferences, and immediate goals, then try strategies that fit the person’s situation. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan and focuses on different techniques or goals in subsequent sessions.
The site biography does not list specific online formats, so check the session options before booking to confirm how appointments are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while they sort out direction, relationships, and next steps.
