About Me
Welcome! My name is Debbie and I am a licensed professional therapist. I have been in practice for 5 years and am currently in private practice in Delaware. I graduated with my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Seton Hall University in 2014. I have worked with adults and children in both individual and group settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, coping with life changes, relationship issues, OCD and ADHD. My style of counseling is warm, interactive and compassionate. I consider my sessions a "no judgement" zone. I strive to create a trusted rapport with my clients and feel that a successful therapeutic relationship is based on mutual respect. While my therapeutic approach combines Cognitive Behavioral, Humanistic and Solution Focused therapy, I will tailor my approach to meet your personal needs. I believe that change happens when a person is ready to embrace it. It is a brave step to seek counseling and I am here to support you through this journey of self discovery.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 3 grown children. My hobbies include reading, needlepoint, knitting hats for the NICU and when time allows, a good "binge watch" on Netflix!
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Debra Hutz. 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.
Debra supported me through a very difficult and anxious time. Our weekly sessions were the motivation I needed to get me through the life challenge my partner and I were facing. With Debra I was able to express myself, be heard and most importantly have my feelings validated. I was able to vent and clear my mind, ready to take on another week. Debra kept up with my situation and remembered key points. I was so grateful to have Debra available in between sessions if I needed her. I felt so comfortable sharing my thoughts and concerns. We were able to delve deeper into other issues impacting my mental health. I was excited to tell Debra our good news which eventuated at the end of a hard and long wait. When life throws me another challenge I will reach out to Debra for support.
You have helped me significantly through some of the toughest moments of my life, I thank you sincerely Debra.
Debbie is great. She listens to me and provides helpful feedback and validation.
Debra can really pick up what is really bothering me instead of what I say. I trust that she will give me long lasting advice that I can carry over to other issues that may come up.
Debra is a fantastic counsellor, I felt I had fantastic support while working through some issues from my childhood. I always felt comfortable and not pressured to talk through so many things that I had pushed to the back of my mind. I really appreciated her checking in every so often between sessions. I’ll always be grateful to have had the support she provided through an immense time of change in my life.
I would highly recommend her.
After one of the most challenging times in my life, I knew I needed help and I was lucky to have been connected with Debra. She has helped me not only grow from that moment in my life, but has also helped me build my confidence. Debra helped teach me several mindfulness techniques that has helped me find calm in a busy life. Ailing with her helped me see myself in a positive light and work towards a healthier life. I am so appreciative of all she has done for me!
Debra has been really helpful. She’s very easy to talk to, kind and never judgemental. She had helped me learn and practice several techniques such as CBT and mindfulness which I have find helpful for anxiety. She has also been a great listener and I would be happy to recommend her.
Debra has helped me work on managing anxiety in stress while dealing with big life changes. She is a pleasure to speak with and I feel as though she really cares to help.
Debra has been accepting to who I am and the issues that I am dealing with. I don’t feel pressured to share or judged for the things that I do share. Honestly feels like a safe space.
I knew I needed help. Debra helped me identify what was going on, and helped me figure out how work through it. Not everyday is easy, but knowing I have tools to get through it, helps. It was not something I could do by myself and I’m glad I had Debra to talk to.
Working with Debra over the past few months has changed my life for the better. I would describe her as an understanding, kind, good humoured individual who is easy to open up to and connect with.
She has always been there for me, guiding me on my journey to overcoming anxiety, providing me with necessary tools and tricks, allowing me to live a healthier, happier life. I have noticed a huge difference in my mentality and outlook on life as a result. An absolute pleasure to work with.
Debra makes it as easy to talk as if you’re talking to a longtime friend, while still maintaining a helpful and professional demeanor. She’s always available when I need her and he been awesome to have!
Debra was patient and she helped me trawl through the issues I was facing. I started my Sessions with Debra feeling lost and empty and I now feel like I have found my footing in life again and that “balance” to move forward on my own.
Very comfortable to talk to.
Debbie has been such an integral part of my healing and is very understanding. She is very easy to talk to, and makes the sessions feel comfortable and safe. I would definitely recommend her as a therapist!
I look forward to every session I have with Debra. She is exactly what I needed and has been there for me every step of the way. Most importantly, she truly cares and shows that every single time we chat. I can't say enough good things about her. My only regret is not finding her sooner.
Debra is amazing. I felt really comfortable talking to her about anything! She really helped me understand myself better and how that impacts my interactions and communication with others
I’ve been using better help since May and Debra has been awesome. She’s very easy to talk to and offered me great ways to deal with my anxiety and healing from grief.
Debbie is a great councilor. She has a very calming and reassuring voice. She also understand and reiterates the feelings I am trying to get across to her and is always assuring me that it's ok to feel that way. Sometimes I think "wow Debbie actually gets what I'm going through", which is so comforting.
Debra was very easy to talk to! She brought a casual energy to the conversation which made it easy to open up, while at the same time providing professional thought out advice with steps to move forward with.
Debra is really great at helping me talk through my problems and how to handle them. She is encouraging and easy to talk to. Not only have I been able to talk about my issues, she’s also helped me find better ways to cope with my anxiety and depression.
Debra made me feel supported and welcomed. She listened to my concerns and offered various tools on how to manage my feelings of anxiety, which have helped me greatly. I found her easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Debra and would seek support from her again.
I've only seen Debra twice now but I really enjoy my time with her. She's a great listener, easy to talk to and interjects when she feels like you need some guidance on what to talk about next, which is important to me in therapy! She responds to messages quickly and also offers worksheets to help you move through things on your breaks in therapy. I would definitely recommend her.
Debra is a comforting and understanding therapist, who validated my feelings and gave me lots of strategies to move past anxiety when I am feeling it. Would definitely recommend her!
Debra is a really professional and kind spirit. Although my problem isn't her expertise we worked together to find someone who was more suited to work with me on my blocks. I wish her the best moving forward with her career!
Debra is responsive and supporting. She understands my needs and guides me to find solutions
