Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Debra Pittman

Debra Pittman uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience so goals and strategies grow out of what matters most to them.
