About me
I am licensed in Illinois with 40 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping couples with relationship building, coping with grief/loss, monitoring/understanding moods (depression, anxiety, bipolar), improving communication, rebuilding trust, increasing self-esteem, and practicing conflict resolution. I believe that you are the expert of your own stories and that you both have many strengths that will assist in overcoming things that are presently challenging. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life together takes courage. I am here to provide support in that process.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Debra Bryant. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Very kind and helpful. Gives examples and tools to work through things.
My fiancée and I found ourselves stuck in a repeating cycle—trying to talk things through, escalating into anger, and then retreating from one another. I tend to want to move quickly toward solutions, while she needs more time to process, and that difference kept pulling us into the same pattern. Debra is gentle and kind in her approach to couples therapy, and her values come through clearly in the way she shows care while still keeping us focused and on track—even when meeting solely on a screen. There were a couple of close moments where I felt myself becoming agitated or defensive, but Debra’s steady, thoughtful approach helped slow things down and bring us back to understanding. I also appreciate the small reminders she sends, which help reinforce the work we’re doing between sessions. Her guidance has given us practical tools, helped us recognize our patterns, and left us feeling hopeful and more confident about continuing to grow together.
Debbie has been such a joy to work with. She understands what both my wife and I I are trying to say and helps us find the middle ground. She has given us several tips on how to communicate better and we both enjoy meeting with her every week.
Absolutely wonderful. Debbie is compassionate, patient, and well burst in her job as a couple couples therapist. Highly recommend.
She is a great listener and very personable. She is great to work with and I love that she gives homework at the end of every session. You can pick up at the next session as if no time has passed. Would 100% recommend.
Debra is very easy to talk to and truly listens to the issue at hand. I feel comfortable being vulnerable with her and that I’m in good hands. Highly recommend!
Debra is a very thoughtful and considerate therapist who deeply listens to client concerns and always makes you laugh during the session. Thank you for your continued support.
Debra Bryant has been an incredible support for us as a couple. She creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where both of us feel heard and understood. Her approach is compassionate yet honest, helping us work through difficult conversations and build healthier communication habits. We’ve gained practical tools that we can actually use in our day-to-day relationship, and we’re already seeing positive changes.
I would highly recommend Debra to any couple looking to strengthen their relationship, navigate challenges, or simply reconnect on a deeper level.
