01About Debbie
Debbie Franzen-Lang is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She works with individuals on parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating and body-image worries, and coping with major life changes. Her approach is collaborative and practical so clients can take small steps forward.
Her style centers on listening first and building trust. Sessions focus on clarifying current problems, setting realistic goals, and using straightforward tools to reach those goals.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to fit each person's needs and rhythm. Debbie blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try alternatives. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relationship concerns and elements of the Gottman Method for couples communication.
Existential ideas help people facing big life questions and meaning struggles. Her practice has included telehealth and in-person work and she draws on three decades of counseling experience. That background shapes how she structures sessions and supports people through difficult transitions.
Debbie explains options clearly and helps clients choose what feels most useful. Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth. Clients leave with concrete steps to try between meetings.
Over time the work focuses on clearer choices, healthier patterns, and better emotional balance.

04Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Debbie uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a welcoming space where the client's concerns guide each session. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters most, and helping people decide the next steps that feel right for them.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and depression because it breaks problems into manageable steps and skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Debbie collaborates with clients to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust them based on how clients respond so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good when seeing facial cues matters, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection. These options make scheduling easier and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
