About Debra
Debra Counadis is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Hawaii with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to meet each person where they are and tailors conversations and plans to individual needs.
Her style is respectful and compassionate. She adapts sessions to fit what a person finds most helpful, whether that means practical skills, emotional processing, or steady support. She emphasizes building confidence and motivation one step at a time.
Debra often addresses related concerns like control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people coping with post-traumatic stress and social anxiety or phobia. Her work blends problem-focused and supportive talk to make change feel manageable.
People who come to her can expect straightforward guidance and an emphasis on what helps day to day. She encourages small, concrete steps toward goals. She also pays attention to emotions that get in the way of those steps, such as grief or shame.
Signing up for therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. Debra asks thoughtful questions during intake and builds a plan with each person’s goals in mind. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.
