Deborah Scott, LMHC — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Deborah!

I'm a counselor who specializes in helping adults navigate life's challenges with compassion and expertise. Whether you're dealing with stress, relationship issues, or seeking personal growth, I create a safe space where you can be heard and supported on your journey toward healing.

My focus

I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and life stages, including veterans, students, and professionals. I focus on stress management, coping skills, work and relationship challenges, communication improvement, relapse prevention, personal boundaries, and veterans' issues.

My approach

I use an eclectic approach, drawing from what works best for you. This includes Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, DBT components like mindfulness and breathing techniques, and solution-focused methods. I tailor evidence-based skills to address stress, anxiety, depression, and self-defeating patterns in ways that fit your unique needs.

My communication style

When you work with me, you can expect a collaboration with attention to ensuring you're comfortable and that you are heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

I chose this path because I believe healing creates lasting change. What starts with one person can transform an entire family and affect generations. I'm committed to working together with you for positive change and a better quality of life.

My goals for you

Our goal is to guide you toward insight and self-growth while developing strategies you can use immediately. We'll define your outcomes together and measure progress throughout our work. If you simply need a place to be heard, I'm here with you and for you.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll ensure that you and I begin to identify your areas of concern and how you want to address them. I'll complete a brief assessment or intake to help us create this 'roadmap' for our sessions.
