Clinical Approaches and the Benefits of Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-based approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and mood regulation. Rational Emotive Therapy focuses on examining and challenging rigid beliefs that contribute to emotional distress, helping people reframe expectations and reduce self-defeating thoughts. Both approaches emphasize active collaboration and the development of coping strategies that can be applied between sessions.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Debbie works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time to find what works best. This partnership helps ensure the plan of care fits the individual's life and priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, as well as live chat and text-based messaging, allow people to access licensed professionals from home or on the go. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in consistent treatment that supports progress over time.
