Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Debra integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and creating a supportive space so clients can explore their goals and values - it often helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, and teaches strategies to reframe thoughts and develop coping tools. She also uses motivational interviewing, a collaborative style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be useful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, and readiness-based goals.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Debra collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit best given their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual or family.
Online therapy with Debra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life, and allow clients to engage with a licensed professional in ways that suit their comfort and routine.
