Deborah Anderson
Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW)
About Deborah
Hello! My name is Deborah Anderson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas. I am also a Licensed Independent Social worker (LISW) in Ohio, my home state. I have worked with people challenged by substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, grief and loss. My approach is solution focused, I want to work collaboratively with clients to identify ways to work through the things that have been barriers to their having a fulfilling life. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral therapy to help clients restructure the life beliefs that have hindered them from reaching their identified potential.
When working with clients I want to meet them where they are and work with them to determine not only where they want to go in life, but also by what mode they would like to get there. I feel that I’m a visitor on a journey my client has invited me to experience with them.

- “Deborah is the best therapist. She has helped me grow so much. She always leaves me feeling better, heard and understood. I appreciate that she always gives me new ways to look at things and encourages me to do the work to create a better life for myself. I really couldn't have asked for a better therapist.”
- “Ms Deborah has been very helpful in my journey of healing. She’s brought up quite a few questions and homework for self-reflection. She’s a great listener and because of that, she is able to help me understand what is happening. I am a Christ believer and because she is too, she is able to refer back not only her experience and training, but most importantly for me, to the Bible for Christ-centered solutions which is amazing. It gives me a peace of mind having a therapist like her. I highly recommend her. However, in order for your journey to progress, you got to commit and do the work too.”

After speaking with her, I always feel like I can go on a little longer. The feeling of leaving church on Sunday, life just looks a little brighter. 10/10.”
