About Debra
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Florida with 20 years of experience, Debra Matthews-Robinson helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and life changes. She works with individuals who are facing mood shifts, panic attacks, caregiver strain, and struggles with guilt or shame. Sessions focus on practical steps and emotional processing rather than abstract theory.
Debra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people who need focused work on traumatic memories and their emotional impact. Both approaches are used with the person’s goals in mind.
In sessions she talks through specific problems, practices new skills, and revisits past experiences that keep causing distress. Communication difficulties and forgiveness work are addressed through concrete exercises and repeated practice. She helps people explore self-love in actionable ways, such as behavior shifts and daily routines.
Her background is clinical social work with two decades of direct practice in Florida. That experience informs a straightforward style that emphasizes what to try between sessions. People often leave with a short plan for the next steps and tools they can use right away.

How CBT and EMDR are used in online work
CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and rehearsing new behaviors. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stress.EMDR targets distress linked to specific memories. Sessions guide the person to revisit troubling events while using structured bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional intensity. It is commonly applied when past experiences continue to cause panic, intrusive memories, or strong emotional reactions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together whether CBT, EMDR, or a mix fits the issue and the pace of work.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for different session lengths when needed. It can also let someone have a quicker check-in if time is limited or skip travel on a hectic day.
