About Deborah

Deborah Gray works with adults who are struggling with stress, low mood, anxiety and relationship strains. She is a BACP-registered counsellor with ten years of experience. Deborah writes in a direct, down-to-earth way and aims to make sessions clear and practical for people under pressure.

Deborah uses a blend of approaches to match what each person needs. She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationships and connection are central concerns. Clients come for a wide range of reasons. Common themes she helps with include depression, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, intimacy and sleeping problems.

She also supports people facing life changes, caregiving stress, compassion fatigue and difficulties with communication and commitment. Sessions take a human-centred tone. Deborah focuses on listening carefully, helping clients notice patterns, and finding small steps that make a difference.

She aims to be respectful and practical rather than academic, so people can try things between sessions and see what helps. Deborah works remotely from Kentucky and offers sessions in English. She also supports international clients.

People start by answering a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that fits their schedule.

Ways of working Deborah names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small, practical actions that move a person towards a life they find meaningful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple techniques to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people develop new ways of relating when intimacy or trust are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will discuss what matters most to the client and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means the focus can change as needs shift, and methods can be blended to suit relationship issues, trauma recovery or day-to-day coping.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work, caregiving and travel. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone can be a lighter check-in, and messaging suits brief updates or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practise skills between sessions.
