Debi Rago

Hi, I’m Deborah M. Rago, LCSW. I hold master’s degrees in both Social Work and Human Services, and I’ve spent more than three decades supporting clients across Arkansas in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. My experience includes working with grief and loss, personality disorders, addictions, professional stress, and trauma.

If you’re facing a difficult season or feeling overwhelmed by what you’re carrying, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to offer compassionate, experienced support as you work toward greater understanding and meaningful change.

I believe therapy should be a compassionate, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness techniques, tailoring the work to what you actually need. Together, we'll explore what you're experiencing, identify what you hope to change, and build practical tools that help you move forward with greater confidence in your daily life.

Our first session is focused on your story. I'll ask about what brings you to therapy, what you've been carrying, and what you're hoping things might look like when we make some progress. There's no pressure to have it all figured out — we'll move at a pace that feels right for you. By the end, my goal is that you leave feeling safe, heard, and a little more hopeful about what's ahead.
