Hello, I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and have a genuine desire to help anyone struggling with life demands, trauma, anxiety, and grief related to loss of any kind. After 10+ years experience in the world of grief and loss, this has allowed me to treat those with complicated grief, additional stressors, depression and adjustment disorder. My experience also includes counseling and coaching those with physical disabilities. My counseling approach is person centered, offering compassion, guidance, and techniques to help in your journey towards finding meaning and purpose in life again. My desire is to walk this journey with you without getting lost in it. Although my approach is compassionate and non-judgmental, I am prepared to challenge and empower you to a better life.
I look forward to meeting and working with you!

So far I have not had many sessions with her, however the few I have had have been a breath of fresh air. I feel I can speak openly & honestly, & she does her best to listen patiently to what I have to say.

Deb has been a great help in my first therapy experience. She listens well, allows me to talk about what matters most and what is top of mind for me. She provides great advice, provides constructive ideas on how to improve, and is very supportive. It is easy to open up to Deb.

Caveat: I am at the end of my therapy with Deborah. We have both decided that I am ready to fly on my own.
I would not be in the wonderful position I am without Deb. Her caring messages, her listening skills, her ability to help break through the struggle - she is just amazing. I am so very fond of her and will miss her!
If you are looking for someone to really listen, care, and help, Deborah is the best choice.

Dr fritts is great but better help has a bad video set up.
I have had two sessions with better help and both were either greatly delayed or became impossible to complete because of video problems. Better help has not connected on the issues yet I have lost time, and by association, money because the sessions, not therapists, were so poor.

Deborah is patient, easy to talk with and calming. She offers very consoling words and great suggestions. She sends uplifting messages and quotes that are truly inspiring. She makes a great effort to show she cares about me and what I'm sharing. I feel a huge sense of support when speaking with her.

Deborah has been great. She's super supportive and responds to me daily and my journal entries. She's a very calming presence which I need right now. In this survey it asked me if she responds in a timely manner and I accidentally hit strongly disagree and there was not easy to fix it. That answer is wrong I have no complaints about the level of care I am receiving from her.
