Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Debra Matthews-Robinson offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of her clinical toolkit. CBT is a structured, practical approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns. EMDR is a guided process that assists people in processing distressing memories and intense emotional reactions, which can reduce the hold of past events on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself. Debra works collaboratively with each person to determine which method or combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect with a licensed professional through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments and support continuity of care during life changes, while maintaining the therapeutic focus and relationship that guide meaningful progress.
