About Deborah

Deborah Richert is a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist with 11 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, and depression. She keeps a relaxed, down-to-earth style that helps people feel at ease. Deborah focuses on clients' strengths and practical steps to move forward.

She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and reactions. She combines that with Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's needs and pacing.

Background and approach

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach skills for mood and behavior changes. Deborah has worked with people managing grief, adjustment problems, substance use concerns, panic, and chronic mood symptoms. She pays attention to co-occurring issues like chronic pain, codependency, and isolation when shaping a treatment plan.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions usually include talking through current struggles, identifying helpful patterns, and practicing skills between meetings. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can try new ways of relating and coping.

Humor and straightforward feedback are part of her style when appropriate. Deborah helps people set clear goals and reviews progress as therapy continues. She supports clients in building communication skills, managing impulses, and addressing feelings of guilt or abandonment.

She practices from Kansas and conducts sessions in English.

Online support

How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape reactions, trust, and emotional needs. Online sessions can be a place to notice relationship habits and try new ways of connecting or coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's experience and priorities, giving space for the client to guide session topics and pace. That approach helps people feel heard and involved in decisions about goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through specific exercises and practice. CBT tools are easy to assign between sessions and review during video or messaging check-ins.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. Plans can change as progress is tracked, and sessions will include feedback and adjustments together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions fit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, skill practice, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between appointments.
