I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years experience and a Certified Life Coach. I have worked extensively with clients learning to cope with health problems including HIV/AIDS, kidney failure, dementia and age related disorders as well as many other life changing or debilitating situations. I have experience with families and individuals dealing with death and dying as well as working through the grief process. I also have experience working with clients who battle with anger management, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other mental health conditions.
My work is based on you and your needs, rather than a textbook model. I believe it’s your journey, and we take it your way. We start where you are in the moment and develop a clear goal, set by you, and work at your pace to reach that goal.
You’ve made the first and most important step simply by searching for help. That takes strength and courage. We will work together using your strengths to help you reach your goals.
I’m looking forward to helping you along life’s journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Debra Gove. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I am so lucky to have matched with such a beautiful and caring therapist. Debra truly
cares about your well being and progress and makes each session so intimate and personal. She prepares each session intentionally and comes ready to listen and share items she’s researched specifically for you, like books to read and daily mantra practices and exercises to boost your energy and drive. Debra holds all the motivation, skills and knowledge that I could ever ask for in a therapist.
Thank you thank you.

Absolutely the best therapist I’ve had! I cannot say enough about how blessed & thankful I am to have Debra as my therapist. She has helped me so much emotionally & mentally to the point that I have seen myself transform in such a positive way. Debra is so considerate of my feelings and the way I think. She makes me feel comfortable, safe, and has helped me boost my confidence and my abilities. In a short time, she has made my life so much more better! I HIGHLY recommend Debra as your therapist. Thank you for all you do
