I am a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin with more than 14 years of experience. I have worked with clients of all ages with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, marriage and family issues, infidelity, addictions, self-esteem, bipolar, grief and loss, personality disorder, OCD, and ADHD. I have also counseled many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My therapeutic approach can include cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive therapy and dialectical-behavior therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and goals.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Deborah Wetzel. 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.
She is a great therapist and has a lot of knowledge. It has been a decade since I have been looking for a therapist who could handle my concerns but couldn't find one until I decided to try Betterhelp and got matched with Deborah. I can definitely see a lot of improvements in myself. I would highly recommend her. She is excellent!

I’ve only had a few sessions with Deborah so far but she’s the best therapist I’ve had. She’s knowledgeable, understanding, comforting, validating and much more. When I speak to her it’s like I’m talking to a friend. I’m so lucky to have found her.
