Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. It helps people build self-esteem, clarify personal values, and move through life changes at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, making it useful for intimacy, attachment, and communication difficulties.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Debra will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what feels most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and practice skills between meetings with licensed professionals and therapists who can meet clients where they are.
