My name is Ron Debord, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in the East Tennessee area. With 25 years of experience, I have helped people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction. I value meaningful connections and work to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel supported as we face challenges together. If you are struggling, I welcome you to call or email me to schedule a consultation.
I believe therapy is most effective when we build a trusting relationship and work together toward goals that matter to you. I will take time to understand what you hope to change, listen to your concerns, and collaborate with you on practical ways to move forward. My approach typically includes elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, tailored to your needs.
During our first session, I will listen carefully to understand what you most want to gain from therapy and what has brought you to this point. You can share at your own pace while we begin identifying the concerns and goals that matter most to you. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, respected, and more hopeful, with a clear plan for how we can work together toward meaningful progress.
