Debra McBain, LMHCA

Debra McBain, LMHCA, supports individuals and families across Washington in navigating life’s most complex emotional and behavioral challenges. Practicing at LifeStance Health, she provides compassionate, evidence-based care for children, teens, adults, and seniors through individual, couples, group, and family therapy. Debra works closely with clients to reduce distress and enhance their quality of life by tailoring interventions to each person’s unique story and goals. Her approach is deeply rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based practices. Debra specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and childhood behavior issues, helping clients of all ages manage emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and build meaningful relationships. She has extensive experience working with children and adolescents, including those in foster care or with autism spectrum disorders, offering families critical support and guidance in developmental and emotional regulation. Debra is especially passionate about supporting individuals living with chronic health conditions, survivors of domestic violence, and those struggling with substance use disorders. She understands how these experiences can shape one’s sense of identity and relationships, and she works with care and clinical insight to help clients heal and reclaim agency in their lives. Her clinical focus includes women’s mental health, reproductive challenges, and post-partum depression, as well as working with military and first responder populations facing unique stressors. Outside of the therapy room, Debra enjoys learning new languages and spending quality time with her children. Her warmth, combined with years of experience, creates a safe and engaging environment for growth and recovery.
