Deborah Unger is very compassionate, supportive and empathetic. She listens and provides amazing feedback and advice. She has a very warm and calm demeanor. I feel safe talking to her about what I’m experiencing.

Even though I have only worked with Deborah for a month I found major improvements in my life. Deborah is extremely helpful! She is very kind and understanding of all situations. She has helped me with dealing with big changes in my life and anxiety about it.

Written on Jan 28, 2019 after therapy with Deborah for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, eating disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes

Deborah was kind yet firm with me, which worked well to get me to begin taking action to fix my issues, rather than just stagnate with them. Perhaps she treats people differently based on circumstance, but I can't speak to that. Given that the primary medium we used was typing, there was some miscommunication from time to time which needed clearing up, but the phone session I had with her was tremendously helpful. Altogether, my experience with Deborah really helped me move forward and make my life and mind my own again.

Deborah helped me when I was dealing with anxiety and insomnia before sleep. She is empathetic and supportive of people with mood disorders like me. I recommend her if you are dealing with issues related to anxiety.

Written on Sep 07, 2018 after therapy with Deborah for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, eating, and self esteem

Deborah is amazing, in the short time we've known each other she always was there for me as she always says haha. There would be times where something happened and I needed someone to talk and she would always go out of her way to make an appointment, even late at night. She's loving, caring and always listens even asking follow up questions to things I've spoken about last session which I'm grateful for. Thank you Deborah, even though we've known each other for a short time I'll always remember you and the way you've always put things in perspective even if it's not what I wanted to hear. I wish you nothing but love and happiness in life's journey, thank you for everything.

Deborah helped me a lot through some rough months. I was having trouble moving on from a relationship but Deborah guided me through the mixed emotions I was experiencing. She was always there when I needed her the most. Her caring attitude and attention to my issues were perfect in helping me determine the root cause of my problems. Thanks to her, I was finally able to get unstuck and move on.

Written on Sep 03, 2018 after therapy with Deborah for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, grief, self esteem, and anger

Deborah helped me very much! She would always check up on me when I would forget to contact her. My favorite thing about Deborah is that one of the last things she would alway say is "I am here for you." That made me feel like she wasn't just doing this for a job, she was really here to help me.

Written on Aug 24, 2018 after therapy with Deborah for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related, self esteem, anger, and career

Incredibly vital in a moment of crisis. Quickly understood the root of my problem and helped me understand what I was feeling after a long period of feeling lost in the dark.

Written on Aug 06, 2018 after therapy with Deborah for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, intimacy-related, and anger

Deborah Unger is AMAZING! And no she did not make me say that haha. I have never felt more listened to, more supported, more encouraged in my life, and although that speaks poorly of my current living situation, it speaks wonders for Ms. Unger.

Even at some of my lowest points, I really felt I could share with Deborah my issues and receive legitimate, let's-think-this-through assistance. I can honestly say without her wisdom and know-how, her questions that make you answer, identify, and tackle your problems head-on, and a small dop of care, I wouldn't be on the positive course on which I currently find my life.

Once again, I was able to trust her completely, knowing she would provide not criticism or judgment, but a guiding hand of support. I am very appreciative of her work and hope you continue to have her as a valuable member of your team.

Thank you for your time.

Deborah is an excellent counselor! She is very responsive to my concerns. It was clear from our first sessions that she was making note of everything that is said because she will often ask follow up questions in later sessions. Deborah is very kind and it was immediately clear that she had my best interests in mind because she asked questions to learn about all of my concerns. She has already provided excellent advice and strategies to help me! My life enjoyment and mood has improved dramatically thanks to Deborah!

Deborah is amazing. I was not sure what to expect when I first signed up but was intrigued by Better Help. I absolutely love my messages with Deborah and I value her input and questions. I look forward to continuing our sessions.

Written on Mar 22, 2018 after therapy with Deborah for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, sleeping, self esteem, and career

Deborah has been working me with for a few months now and has been a real help in teaching me to recognize my own unhealthy thinking patterns. I was working with her for depression and anxiety issues. She has very good insight and is a good listener which has enabled me to learn a lot. She has shown me behaviors and thought patterns I have which are detrimental that I didn’t even know I had, and she also gave me ideas on how to replace the bad habits or thoughts with positive ones. This has been a big help. She is always responsive and always addresses all of my concerns or questions, without leaving anything out. I highly recommend her.

Written on Mar 11, 2018 after therapy with Deborah for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, and career

I decided to get help with BetterHelp since I have a busy schedule and could not find anyone who worked around my work and school schedule. I was paired with Deborah Unger and since the moment we exchanged the first few messages, I felt extremely comfortable and at ease. I felt like she truly cared about me, she was able to understand what I was going through and within a few interactions, not only did I feel better about myself, but I started to see my situation in a completely different point of view. She has truly been amazing, talking to her has helped me so much. Deborah - thank you so much for all that you have done for me. You have truly been there for me and I don't think words are enough to thank you for all of your support and your advices and help during my most difficult times.

I’ve only now been involved with Better Health for two weeks, but so far my experience has been very good. My counselor really asks a lot of questions which shows me she wants to understand my individual experience.

Written on Feb 02, 2018 after therapy with Deborah for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, eating, and self esteem

I have been receiving help from Deborah Unger through BetterHelp. I would like to say that she has been a brilliant help over the past week and a half that I've been working with her. She's allowed me to view my situation from a different angle, and she's offered excellent and helpful advice to help solve my problems in ways that I've never thought of before. In the past week and a half, she's helped change me into the person I want to be more than I've been able to in the past year, and I'm incredibly thankful for that.

Thank you for allowing Deborah to help people through your platform, and thank you for offering BetterHelp to the public.

Deborah has helped me a lot in dealing with my anxiety and anger issues. I am already seeing improvement in myself emotionally which is great!

Written on Jul 30, 2017 after therapy with Deborah for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, and anger

I turned to a BetterHelp due to having significant problems with paralyzing anxiety all day, every day. I was paired with Deborah, who immediately showed so much sensitivity and understanding to my situation, and with great wisdom offered a very simple solution that has done wonders to my whole demeanor: start with a couple of short sessions a week.

After doing that, I noticed how much I have been taxing myself and drowning myself with expectations. I have become so much happier. This also had effects on my social life, as I am naturally an introvert, but then, since I started paying attention to my anxiousness and levels of over-saturation on a daily basis and not allowing myself to get to those places, I became much more social.

The effects that Deborah's counseling has had on my life have far surpassed any expectations that I've had. I also began this process skeptical of the medium after years of talk-therapy, and now am willing to vouch for it wholeheartedly.

I am very grateful for a BetterHelp's sensitive questionnaire that allows patients to be paired with appropriate counsellors - it was certainly the case for me, and I couldn't be happier I was paired with Deborah.

Thank you for all of your service, and thank you Deborah, for making such a profound difference in my life!

Deborah has been a great help for me. She responds to my messages fairly promptly and has also provided me with concrete strategies to deal with my problems. Her suggestions have been helpful to me so far.

I am liking the format of online counseling better than ordinary counseling. It is easier for me to express my problems through a combination of emails and conversations. I am able to articulate certain thoughts better when it's in an email rather than in a conversation and vice versa.

This is a very different way of conducting therapy sessions but it totally works for me. It works for me because I can respond at a time when I need help the most and not at an appointed hour. The best part is Deborah, who is so responsive that she always seems to be on my personal time clock. She asks lots of pertinent questions and helps me find strategies.
It has been a few weeks and I look forward to continuing our talks. She is terrific.

I had been looking for an old fashioned in-person therapist to no avail, and took a chance with BetterHelp's more modern approach. Deborah Unger was recommended, and I'm so thankful. I have only been working with Deborah for about a month, but I've already seen a major improvement on my outlook and perspectives. She is honest and straightforward, yet very understanding and sensitive. Additionally, she goes out of her way to make herself available.

Written on Jan 04, 2016 after therapy with Deborah for 1 week on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship, grief, and depression

It takes a little while to adapt to this type of counseling for both the counselor and the counseled, however, Deborah shows a genuine interest, asks questions and provokes thought. She has been helpful in a very difficult situation that is very sensitive. We have not even gotten into my core issue yet, one problem at a time. Thanks Deborah!

i would just like to write to say how much deborah has helped me in the past 2 weeks since i signed up for better help. i have been going through a difficult time in my life and had a therapist before but with my schedule is was so difficult to be able to go to an appointment.. but with better help.com it allows you contact when is convenient for you and the therapists get back to you so often that you feel like you're in constant contact and when you need them their there... its been an amazing experience for me and have actually recommend it to others that have had the same issue with scheduling things... i actually don't know what i would do with out it.. i will continue to use it as much as i can and feel the need for support... and that's what I've gotten the most is the feeling of support in the most positive ways :)
