Deborah DeVito

I am a compassionate therapist with experience supporting children, adolescents, and families. As an elementary school counselor, I help clients navigate social, emotional, and behavioral challenges while building confidence and resilience in a safe, supportive space.

My approach is client-centered and grounded in evidence-based practices, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and play-based interventions. I specialize in anxiety, emotional regulation, stress, self-esteem, and life transitions, and I have experience supporting military-connected families.

My goal is to help clients develop practical skills, strengthen relationships, and feel empowered to grow and thrive.

I take a warm, client-centered approach, creating a safe space where clients feel supported and understood. I tailor each session to meet individual needs, focusing on strengths and practical growth.

My work is grounded in evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, solution-focused techniques, and play-based interventions for children. I focus on anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and life transitions, helping clients build skills that lead to lasting change.

In the first session, clients can expect a warm, relaxed environment where they feel safe and supported. I focus on getting to know you—your concerns, strengths, and what brings you to therapy—at a pace that feels comfortable.

We will begin identifying goals together and discuss what you hope to gain from our work. You can also expect clear communication about the process and a collaborative approach moving forward.

My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the next steps.
