About Deborah
Deborah Gromack is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with 27 years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, coping with life changes, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting, self-esteem, career, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among the topics she addresses. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Deborah trained in expressive therapies with a concentration in music therapy and holds a Master of Arts in Expressive Therapies from Lesley University. Early work included research on mother-infant relationships, teaching in public schools, and community advocacy for fair housing. Her background also includes clinical work with older adults, people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and those on the autism spectrum.
Her practice emphasizes a client-centered approach that lets the person direct the work. She often uses creative arts such as music, art, poetry, storytelling, and writing as ways to help people name and share difficult thoughts and feelings. These methods are presented as optional tools chosen together rather than as requirements.
Deborah also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy into her work. That combination is used to help people identify unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and set practical goals for daily life. She frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a set path.

How Deborah Uses Client-Centered, CBT, and Solution-Focused Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person and following their lead. It aims to make space for what someone wants to work on and supports them in choosing the pace and topics of sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress. It often involves practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, useful for anxiety, sleep issues, and low mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on concrete goals and simple steps the person can try between sessions. It tends to keep sessions goal-oriented and short-term when that matches the client's needs.
Figuring out the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what seems most useful, then adapt methods over time in a collaborative way.
